Multiple IBM Storage Protect servers

How to use Data Protection for HCL Domino with multiple IBM Storage Protect servers is presented.

To use Data Protection for HCL Domino with multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers, create multiple server stanzas in the dsm.sys file, use separate client option files, one for each IBM Storage Protect server, specifying the appropriate server name within each and then use the /adsmoptfile parameter with the Data Protection for HCL Domino executable files to identify the server.

For example, assuming that you created dsmserv1.opt and dsmserv2.opt to specify different servername values that identify the address and communication parameters necessary to access two IBM Storage Protect servers. Access the two servers using:

domdsmc selective "*"  /adsmoptfile=dsmserv1.opt

domdsmc query dbbackup  /adsmoptfile=dsmserv2.opt

Data Protection for HCL Domino uses the DSMI_CONFIG environment variable to locate the IBM Storage Protect client option file so it is also possible to adjust that environment variable to point to the wanted file before you use the domdsmc command. If the /adsmoptfile command is used, it overrides the environment variable value. Make sure to specify the full path to the options file. See the IBM Storage Protect for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide, for more information about defining the IBM Storage Protect system options file dsm.sys with multiple server stanzas.
