Server options
Use the servername option in your dsm.sys file to begin a group of options (stanzas) used to connect to the IBM Spectrum Protect server.
You can set up multiple groups of stanzas in the dsm.sys file to connect to different servers. Each servername stanza must have listed below it all client option stanzas required to establish communication with a server. The stanza list can also contain other options for backup-archive operations.
If your client system-options file contains only one stanza - Your client node contacts the server you specify in that stanza for all services.
If your client system-options file contains more than one stanza - You can specify a default server with the defaultserver option. If you do not specify a default server, IBM Spectrum Protect contacts the server you specify in the first stanza of your dsm.sys file.
Place the defaultserver option at the beginning of your dsm.sys file before any server stanzas. See Defaultserver for more information.
Use the servername option in the client user-options
file (dsm.opt) or on the command line to specify a server to contact
for backup-archive services. This overrides the default server specified
in your (dsm.sys) file.
Note: You cannot override the migration server specified in the client system-options file.
