IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks, Version 7.1

Automating the storage agent startup

You can configure the storage agent to start automatically when the system restarts.

Procedure

Modify the inittab.
Hint: The following command is entered on one line, but is displayed here on multiple lines to make it easier to read.
For example:
```
aa:234:once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin/dsmsta.rc 
>/dev/console 2>/dev/console
```

Create a script file named dsmsta.rc in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin directory with the following information:

echo "Starting TSM Storage Agent."
STGDIR="/opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin"
cd $STGDIR
./dsmsta -quiet $* || echo "TSM Storage Agent (\"$STGDIR\") error.. Aborting."
