Editing the client options files

The HCL® OneDB® Interface for Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) communicates with the server with the API. By default, HCL OneDB Interface for uses the client user options file (dsm.opt) and, on UNIX™ systems, the client system options file (dsm.sys), both of which are located in the API installation directory.

On UNIX systems, edit both the dsm.opt and the dsm.sys files as the root user:

Specify the server to use in the client user options file, dsm.opt.
Identify the server name, communication method, and server options in the client system options file, dsm.sys.

Use the sample dsm.opt.smp and dsm.sys.smp files distributed with the API to help you get started quickly.

On Windows™ systems, specify the server name, communication method, and server options in the dsm.opt file.

The following example shows an example dsm.opt file on Windows:

SErvername  PAX12_TSMSERVER1
  COMMMethod        TCPip
  TCPPort            1500
  TCPADMINPort         1500
  TCPServeraddress  9.25.148.226
  PasswordAccess    generate

See Installing the Clients and Trace Facility Guide for information regarding options you can specify in these files.
