Options and preferences

Data Protection for HCL 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. 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 by specifying the servername option. 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.

dsm.sys

The IBM Storage Protect system options file. The client system options file, dsm.sys, contains stanzas that identify the IBM Storage Protect server to access and the node name by which Data Protection for HCL Domino is known to the IBM Storage Protect server. These stanzas also specify communication parameters, backup and restore processing options, authorization options and select scheduling options. If you are using the IBM Storage Protect backup-archive client together with Data Protection for HCL Domino, you must define separate stanzas in the dsm.sys system options file for the two clients. Only the root user can edit the dsm.sys file.
