Editing the TSM client options files

The HCL® OneDB® Interface for Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) communicates with the TSM server with the TSM API. By default, HCL OneDB Interface for TSM 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 TSM API installation directory.

On UNIX systems, edit both the dsm.opt and the dsm.sys files as the root user:
  • Specify the TSM server to use in the client user options file, dsm.opt.
  • Identify the TSM 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 TSM API to help you get started quickly.

On Windows™ systems, specify the TSM 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 TSM Installing the Clients and TSM Trace Facility Guide for information regarding options you can specify in these files.
