Gents, the -optfile= option works very well In Linux if you're wanting to keep a consistent way of starting dsmc across platforms. It works well on every platform I support, AIX, Linux and Windows.
1st. as Remco said, create a new stanza in the dsm.sys file. 2nd. Create a new dsm.opt file with one line "Servername NODENAME" 3rd. run "dsmc -optfile=dsm.new.opt" or just use "-se=NODENAME" I use the -optfile option in my scripts, because it works well with the CAD and scheduler services, and you can add extra options or temp options in there as well. i.e.: dsmcad -optfile=/opt/Tivoli/tsm/client/config/dsm.special.opt See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tim Brown Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 4:01 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] dsmc in linux Thanks !!! -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Remco Post Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 4:13 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: dsmc in linux Hi, you have two options: 1- add an extra server stanza to dsm.sys, then run dsmc -se=newserver, or create an extra dsm.opt and set DSM_CONFIG to point to that dsm.opt 2- create an alternate dsm dircetory containing the dsm.sys, dsm.opt and a link to the languages and set DSM_DIR I think you're looking for option 1 On 8 nov. 2011, at 22:01, Tim Brown wrote: > Is there an override in the linux backup command to access a different dsm.sys > > As there is in windows > > > > Windows > > Dsmc inc -optile=dsm1.opt > > > > > > Linux > > > > ./ dsmc inc -????=dsm1.sys > > > > Thanks, > > > > Tim Brown > Systems Specialist - Project Leader > Central Hudson Gas & Electric > 284 South Ave > Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 > Email: tbr...@cenhud.com <<mailto:tbr...@cenhud.com>> > Phone: 845-486-5643 > Fax: 845-486-5921 > Cell: 845-235-4255 > > > > > This message contains confidential information and is only for the intended recipient.
