To monitor IBM
Spectrum Protect activities, such as
server migration and client logons, run the administrative client in console mode. You cannot enter
any administrative commands in console mode.
Procedure
-
To start an administrative client session in console mode, enter the following command:
dsmadmc -consolemode
You are prompted for a password if authentication is turned on for the server. If you do not want
to be prompted for your user ID and password, enter the DSMADMC command with the
-ID and -PASSWORD options.
-
To end an administrative client session in console mode, use a keyboard break sequence.
| Operating system |
Break sequence |
| UNIX and Linux® clients |
Ctrl+C |
| Windows clients |
Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break |
Note: Due to signal-handler design limitations with the DSMADMC command on UNIX and Linux, pressing Ctrl-C or using the UNIX
kill -15 command can lead to a core memory dump. If you need to avoid such a core
memory dump, use the UNIX kill -9 command from an available command line.
