Configuring client performance monitor options

You enable Tivoli Storage Manager clients to use the performance monitor by specifying parameters in the client options file. You specify these options for each client that you want to monitor.

Before you begin

When you monitor performance on UNIX and Linux computers, set the open file descriptor limit to at least 1024, by using the following command:

ulimit -n 1024

  1. Open the client options file for each client that you are monitoring. Depending on your configuration, the client options are in one of the following files:

    • dsm.sys
  2. Add the following options to the client options file:
    • PERFMONTCPSERVERADDRESS
