Each node requires a client options file. Each client options file must contain the network address of the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager server and other communication options that allow the node to communicate with the server.
Figure 1 shows the
contents of a client options file that is configured to connect to
the server using TCP/IP. The communication options specified in the
client options file satisfy the minimum requirements for the node
to connect to the server.

Many non-required options are available that can be set at any time. These options control the behavior of Tivoli Storage Manager processing.
Refer to Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide for more information about non-required client options.
