Use the defaultserver option to specify the name of the Tivoli® Storage Manager server to contact for backup-archive services if more than one server is defined in the dsm.sys file.
By default, Tivoli Storage Manager contacts the server defined by the first stanza in the dsm.sys file. This option is only used if the servername option is not specified in the client user-options file (dsm.opt).
If you have the HSM client installed on your workstation, and you do not specify a migration server with the migrateserver option, use this option to specify the server to which you want to migrate files. See IBM® Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management for UNIX and Linux User's Guide for more information.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all UNIX clients.
Options File
Place this option at the beginning of the dsm.sys file before any server stanzas.
