Use this vmcli command to set a parameter
in the vmcliprofile.
Syntax
The vmcli -f set_option command
uses this syntax:
vmcli -f set_option [-c tsm_mode] [-m datacentermapping][-n datamovernodename] [-p tsmserverport] [-s tsmserverhostname] [-v vctrnodename]
You must issue the
vmcli -f set_option command
as the tdpvmware user, and not as root.
Parameters
- -c tsm_mode
- Specify the mode in which Tivoli® Storage
Manager backs up
the virtual environment. The value is set in the VE_TSM_MODE parameter
in the vmcliprofile. You can choose from one of the
following modes:
- VSPHERE
- Specify this value when Tivoli Storage
Manager backs up
and restores individual VMs from a vCenter.
- VCloud
- Specify this value when Tivoli Storage
Manager backs up
and restores vApps from
a vCloud director.
If the mode is not set in the vmcliprofile,
the VSPHERE mode is used with the vmcli command.
- -m datacentermapping
- Specify the name of the data center that is associated with the datacenter node name
(DC_name::DC_nodename). The DC_name value
is case sensitive and must match the name of your datacenter.
- [-n datamovernodename]
- Specify the data mover node name.
This name is the node name for the Tivoli Storage
Manager backup-archive
client that is installed on the vStorage Backup Server. This node
performs the data movement.
- [-p tsmserverport]
- Specify the port of the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
- If this parameter is not specified in the Data Protection for VMware command-line
interface and not specified in the
profile, the default port (1500) is used.
- If this parameter is not specified in the Data Protection for VMware command-line
interface, but is specified in the
profile, the value in the profile is used.
- [-s tsmserverhostname]
- Specify the host name or IP address of the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
If this parameter is not specified, the value in the profile is used.
- [-v vcenternodename]
- Specify the vCenter node name. This
node is the virtual node that represents a vCenter. If this parameter
is not specified in the Data Protection for VMware command-line
interface, the value in the profile
is used.
Example
In this example, the
vmcli
-f set_option command is issued to set the
Tivoli Storage
Manager server and
its port:
vmcli -f set_option -s TEMPLE.MYCOMPANY.XYZ.COM -p 1650
The

Setting VE_TSM_SERVER_PORT to: 1650
#INFO FMM16014I The return code is 0.
In this example, the
vmcli -f
set_option command is issued to set the data center mapping:
vmcli -f set_option -m DataCenter2::NANO_DATACENTER123
The
following mapping is set in the profile:
VE_DATACENTER_NAME DataCenter2::NANO_DATACENTER123
