FMV0990W
Options file 'file-name' could not be found. Default option values will be used.

Explanation

Common reasons for this warning include:
  • The default options file does not exist, and
  • You did not specify the -OPTFILE option when starting the Tivoli Storage Manager client, and
  • the environment variable DSM_CONFIG was not set.

System action

Tivoli Storage Manager client assumes default values for all client options and continues processing, using the default server name and associated options found in the dsm.sys file.

User response

If the default system action is acceptable, you can eliminate this message by creating an empty dsm.opt file in the installation directory.

If you have a client user options file (dsm.opt), either place it in the installation directory or set the DSM_CONFIG environment variable to the fully-qualified path and file name of your options file.

Review the information on configuring Tivoli Storage Manager in the Tivoli Storage Manager client manual specific to your operating system. If the problem persists, ask your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator for further assistance.
