Dunno what version of the client you are installing, or what version of Linux?
But the client manual says how to do it on Linux now if it's relatively recent.
All I do on Redhat is follow these instructions from the book below.
I do the :"hkconfig --add dsmcad" (those are 2 hyphens), then
"service dsmcad start".
<< snip from 7.1.1 book >>
On Linux clients, the installation program creates a startup script
for the client acceptor daemon (dsmcad) in /etc/init.d. The client
acceptor daemon (dsmcad) must be started before it can manage
scheduler tasks, or manage the web client. As root, use the
following command to start, stop, or restart the daemon, or check
its status:
service dsmcad start
stop
restart
status
To enable the Client Acceptor Daemon to start automatically after a
system restart, add the service as follows, at a shell prompt:
# chkconfig --add dsmcad

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM on Linux Box
Hello. On a windows box, when installing TSM, there's the option towards the
end of the client install to choose whether you want the TSM server to start up
automatically when the client server (node) has been restarted.
How do I do this on a linux box? I thought if I put:
"item::once: /usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # TSM scheduler"
in the etc/inittab file, this was the auto startup.
But this does not auto start the 'dsmc schedule', because the node missed the
backup and I have to manually do the 'nohup' command.
I'm not seeing anything on the GUI and I don't know if I need anything
additional in the .opt or .sys file.
I have 'managedservices webclient' currently in the .sys file.
In this link:
http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/istcontrib/TSM+6+for+Linux+-+Install,+Configure,+Set+Up,+and+Confirm+the+Scheduler
It mentions that using the /etc/inittabl to autostart doesn't seem to work any
more and it suggests to create a /etc/init/dsm-sched.conf file with some
start,stop,respawn and exec options.
Any thoughts, knowledge, comments will be appreciated.
Thanks!
