IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Optfile

The optfile option specifies the client options file to use when you start a Tivoli® Storage Manager session.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all clients.


>>-OPTFILE = - --file_name-------------------------------------><

file_name: Specifies an alternate client options file, if you use the fully qualified path name. If you specify only the file name, Tivoli Storage Manager assumes the file name specified is located in the current working directory. The default is dsm.opt.
Restriction: Specify the full path when you use this option with the client acceptor daemon (dsmcad), because the client acceptor daemon changes its working directory to root ("/") after initialization.

Command line:

   dsmc query session -optfile=myopts.opt

Client acceptor daemon:

dsmcad -optfile=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/myopts.opt

This option is valid only on the initial command line. It is not valid in interactive mode.
