Repltcpserveraddress
The repltcpserveraddress option specifies the TCP/IP address of the secondary server to be used when the client connects to the secondary server during a failover.
This option must be specified within a replservername stanza in the client options file. The replservername stanza contains connection information about the secondary server.
This option is set by the IBM Spectrum® Protect server administrator for the client node. During the normal (non-failover) logon process, the option is sent to the client and is saved in the client options file.
Do not edit this option during normal operations.
- The primary server is offline and the information for the secondary server is not in the options file.
- The secondary server information is out-of-date or incorrect.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients.
Options File
This option is placed in the dsm.sys file within the replservername stanza.
Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt).
