Options and preferences

Data Protection for IBM® Domino® uses options files to store configuration information. The files that have options and preferences that must be set are described.

If you have a IBM Storage Protect backup-archive client, on the same system with Data Protection for HCL Domino, you must use different node names for the two clients.

domdsm.cfg

The domdsm.cfg preferences file contains options specific to Data Protection for HCL Domino. Use the set command to set values for these options. Do not use a text editor to edit this file. You can display the current values in domdsm.cfg by issuing the query preferences command. You can also use the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu in the GUI. If the preferences file is corrupted and contains invalid values, the default values for the preferences are used. See Domdsmc set for parameters that are stored in this file.

dsm.opt

The options file, dsm.opt, identifies the IBM Storage Protect server to contact and the node name by which Data Protection for HCL Domino is known to the IBM Storage Protect server. This file also contains some options that are related to back up and restore processing. Use the sample options file, dsm.opt.smp, to create the dsm.opt file. The dsm.opt.smp file is in the Data Protection for HCL Domino installation directory.
