During the installation, Tivoli Storage Manager provides a sample client user options file called dsm.opt.smp.
Copy the dsm.opt.smp file to dsm.opt in your installation directory and modify the required options according to your needs.
This file contains the following options:
If you are a root user, you can create a default client user options file for all users on your workstation. If you want to use different options than those specified in the default client user options file, you can create your own client user options file.
To create and modify a default client user options file or client user options file, follow these steps:
You can also create and modify a client user options file by performing the following steps:
For the Bourne or Korn shell, enter the DSM_CONFIG variable in the .profile file in your $HOME directory. For example:
DSM_CONFIG=/home/monnett/dsm.opt export DSM_CONFIG
For the C shell, add the DSM_CONFIG variable to .cshrc in your $HOME directory. For example, we recommend that you use full path names instead of relative path names when you set environment variables.
setenv DSM_CONFIG /home/monnett/dsm.opt
The preferences editor updates the client configuration files, dsm.opt and dsm.sys, if any options have changed.
The preferences editor uses the environment variables DSM_DIR to locate the client system options file (dsm.sys) and DSM_CONFIG to locate the client user options file (default name dsm.opt). The preferences editor queries the server for options on the server, but only updates the client options file. The preferences editor groups the options into the following categories:
You may use some options only with commands. For more information about these options, see Chapter 10, "Using Options with Commands".
