This explains how to write the definitions related to a TSM server operation to the dsmserv.opt file. The dsmserv.opt file is stored in "$DIR4" ("DB directory") the amount of space for which is estimated in "7.3.2 Dynamic Disk Resources".
The procedure is as follows.
Copy /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt (that is sample file) to "DB directory". In the following example, "DB directory" is described as DB_directory.
If the dsmserv.opt file is located in /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin, this step is not required.
# cp /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt DB_directory |
Edit the contents of the dsmserv.opt file under the "DB directory".
An example of the contents of the dsmserv.opt file is shown below.
VOLUMEHistory /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/volhist.out DEVCONFig /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/devconfig.out EXPInterval 1 COMMmethod SHAREDMEM SHMPort 1510 MAXSessions 30 |
The meaning of each item is as follows.
Item | Meaning |
|---|---|
VOLUMEHistory | Specifies in a full path the name of a file to which to save the copy of sequential-volume information. For the directory, specify "DB directory". The file name is volhist.out. Normally specify "/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/volhist.out". |
DEVCONFig | Specifies in a full path a file to which to save the copy of device configuration information. For the directory, specify "DB directory". The file name is devconfig.out. Normally specify "/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/devconfig.out". |
EXPInterval | Specifies an interval (times) between automatic checks for files whose validity has expired. Beginning at the startup point of the TSM daemon, checks for term expirations are made using the specified interval (times). Normally you would specify "1". |
COMMmethod | Specifies a communication protocol. Indicate the following value:
|
SHMPort | Specifies the TCP/IP port number of shared memory. Indicate the following value:
When the system is using 1510, specify a free port number from 1000 to 32767. |
MAXSessions | Specifies the simultaneous number of sessions of a TSM client that can connect to a TSM server. Specify the following value. Tape backup concurrency x 2 (*1) If the calculated value is 25 or less, specify 25. This is the TSM default value. (*1) The backup concurrency indicates the number of times backup to tape and restoration from tape are actually performed. Specify the maximum value of the backup concurrency that is enabled during operation. Normally, a transaction volume has a concurrency of one for one backup command. |
Note
A line beginning with * is interpreted as a comment.
Be careful not to assign the port numbers specified for SHMPort to any other software product or configuration
