Hello Jianyu, In general, in order for the scheduler to work, you must do the following:
- Define a schedule on the TSM server. - Associate the client nodes with that schedule (using the DEFINE ASSOCIATION command). For example: DEF ASSOC STANDARD DAILY_INCR MYNODENAME - Install and configure the TSM client software on the machine you wish to back up, then start the scheduler on that client machine. If the above outline does not help, then please provide more detail on your problem. The detail in the solution can only be proportional to the detail in the problem description. For instance, some questions that occur to me: 1) Your given schedule definition is not very typical. You have -subdir=yes in the OPTIONS setting, but no OBJECTS specified. You also have the backup running hourly, with a duration of 10 minutes per instance. It would help if you could indicate what exactly it is you are trying to accomplish, including information on what exactly you want to back up. Knowing *why* you want to do this might also provide some useful insight. 2) When you say "my client doesn't work", what exactly does that mean? Have you tried performing manual (nonscheduled) backups? If so, what are the results? If not, then try testing a manual backup. One useful test after installing and configuring the client is to run the command line client like this: dsmc query session This will demonstrate basic connectivity to the TSM server (and it is often good to make sure you can walk before you try to run). 3) Have you configured and started the scheduler? Examine dsmsched.log and see whether the scheduler is successfully obtaining information about the next scheduled event.
