Running concurrent client sessions

Running two or more client program instances at the same time on the same system might provide better overall throughput than a single client instance, depending on the available resources.

You can schedule backups for multiple file systems concurrently on one IBM Storage Protect client system with any of the following methods:
  • By using one node name, and running one client scheduler, and setting the resourceutilization client option to 5 or greater, and including multiple file systems in the schedule, or in the domain specification. This method is the simplest way to run concurrent sessions.
  • By using one node name, running one client scheduler, and scheduling a command that runs a script on the client system, where the script includes multiple client (dsmc) commands.
  • By using multiple node names and running one client scheduler for each node name, and where each scheduler uses its own client options file.
