You must configure the Tivoli® Storage
Manager client
node that you created. This step is part of the initial configuration
tasks before you can use Tivoli Storage FlashCopy® Manager in
the Windows Server Core environment.
About this task
You must configure the client options file (
dsm.opt),
set the environment variables, and install and setup the
Tivoli Storage
Manager client
acceptor service and remote client agent service.
Procedure
To configure the client, complete the following steps:
- Configure the client options file:
- Change to the backup-archive client installation directory. For example, issue the following command in a Command
Prompt window:
cd C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient
- Open the dsm.opt file with a text
editor and enter the following statements:
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
COMMMethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
nodename client_nodename
TCPSERVERADDRESS tsm_server
The following
list contains brief explanations of the client options in the statements:
- PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
- Instructs the client to save the password whenever the /tsmpassword option
is used so you do not have to enter the password with every command.
- TCPPort 1500
- Specifies that the client accesses the Tivoli Storage
Manager server at
TCP/IP port 1500. 1500 is the default port number.
- nodename client_nodename
- Specifies the newly created node for the backup-archive client.
- TCPSERVERADDRESS tsm_server
- Specifies the name of the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
You can enter the server IP address or the fully qualified domain
name.
For example:
NODename DOOMVM3
PASSWORDAccess generate
TCPServeraddress gijoe
TCPPort 1500

Manager client
options, see Processing options.
- Install and start the Tivoli Storage
Manager client
acceptor service and remote client agent service.
- Install the client acceptor service by entering the
following command in a Command Prompt window:
C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmcutil install cad
/name:"servicename" /node:nodename /password:password
/autostart:yes
Where nodename is
the client node name, password is the client password,
and servicename is the name that you want to use
for the client acceptor service. The default name is "TSM
Client Acceptor".
For example:C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmcutil install cad /name:"TSM CAD"
/node:DOOMVM3 /password:doomvm3passwd /autostart:yes
- Install the remote client agent service by entering
the following command in a Command Prompt window:
C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmcutil install remoteagent
/name:"servicename" /node:nodename /password:password
/partnername:"partner service name"
The
node name for the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor and the Remote
Client Agent must be set to the backup-archive client node. The default
service name is "TSM Remote Client Agent".
The value for the /partnername option must match
the name of the client acceptor service that you created. The default
name is "TSM Client Acceptor".
For example:C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmcutil install remoteagent
/name:"TSM AGENT" /node:DOOMVM3 /password:doomvm3passwd
/partnername:"TSM CAD"
- Start the client acceptor service by entering the following
command:
net start "servicename"
Where
servicename is the name of the
client acceptor service that you created. For example:
net start "TSM CAD"
Do
not start the remote client agent service manually. The remote client
agent service is automatically started by the client acceptor service
when it is needed.
