8.7.3 Configuration of a Client System Option File

This details how to write the definitions related to a TSM client operation to the /usr/bin/dsm.sys and /usr/bin/dsm.opt files.

The procedure is as follows.

  1. Edit the contents of the /usr/bin/dsm.sys file. An example of the /usr/bin/dsm.sys file is shown below. Items or values specified after the first argument (eg., "nodename") on each line must be delimited with a space (or tab).

    SERVERname     tapeserver1
     nodename       tapeserver1
     COMMmethod     SHAREDMEM
     SHMPort        1510
     PasswordAccess generate

    The meaning of each item is as follows.

    Item

    Meaning

    SERVERname

    Specifies a node name of Tape Server.

    Nodename

    Specifies a node name of Tape Server.

    COMMmethod

    Specifies a communication protocol. Indicate the following value:

    SHAREDMEM

    SHMPort

    Specifies a shared memory TCP/IP port number.

    Specify the same value as that specified in dsmserv.opt in the 8.7.2 Configuration of a Server Option File.

    PasswordAccess

    Specifies how to update the password that a TSM client uses.

    You would normally use the following value:

    "generate"

    Note

    Lines beginning with * are interpreted as comment.

    Be careful not to use in another software product the port number that is specified for SHMPort.

  2. Edit the contents of the/usr/bin/dsm.opt file. An example of the /usr/bin/dsm.opt file is shown below.

    SERVERname     tapeserver1

    The meaning of each item is as follows.

    Item

    Meaning

    SERVERname

    Specifies a node name of Tape Server.

    Note
