Hello. Well, after checking the steps for Traditional method on page 235, the difference we had was on the entry in the inittab file.
Book: tsmsched::once:/usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # TSM scheduler Ours: "item::once:/usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # TSM scheduler" 1. Are the quotes assumed? 2. Any difference by using the word ‘item’? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Prather, Wanda Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2015 11:24 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM on Linux Box On Linux I always just set it up with dsmcad; all my customers run dsmcad anyway because so few of them have XWindows environments, and so they use the dsmcad webclient for GUI access. On Windows I still tend to use the old scheduler-only mode, as most of my customers had rather just RDP into the server because it's faster and you don’t get hung up with java issues on Windows with the browser. So I guess that's a way of saying I do whichever the customer prefers!

The script provided with the client package begining with TSM 6.3 only allows to start the dsmcad, and not "dsmc sched". A news script must be written, or the managedservices option must be change to include schedule also. -- Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي Erwann SIMON ----- Mail original ----- De: "Wanda Prather" <wanda.prat...@icfi.com<mailto:wanda.prat...@icfi.com>> À: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU<mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Envoyé: Jeudi 22 Janvier 2015 16:05:06 Objet: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM on Linux Box It's not the redhat book, it's just the TSM client book for Unix. I'll mail you a copy directly. And those are all the instructions! The client install *should* have created everything you need. Once you have set up the dsm.sys so that you can successfully run dsmc i, try doing this (as root): chkconfig --add dsmcad (that's a space and 2 hyphens) service dsmcad start Then do: ps -ef | grep dsm You should see the dsmcad daemon running, and it should restart after a reboot.

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 <<snip>> Wanda Prather TSM Consultant ICF International Enterprise and Cybersecurity Systems Division -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeanne Bruno Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 10:30 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU<mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> 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.

Any thoughts, knowledge, comments will be appreciated.
