Replservername
The replservername option specifies the name of the secondary server that the client connects to during a failover.
The replservername option begins a stanza in the client options file that contains connection information about the secondary server.
This option is set by the Tivoli® Storage Manager server administrator for the client node. During the normal (non-failover) logon process, the option is sent to the client and is saved in the client options file.
Do not edit this option during normal operations.
Edit this option only during situations such as the following ones:
- The primary server is offline and the information for the secondary server is not in the options file.
- The secondary server information is out-of-date or incorrect.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients.
Options File
This option is placed in the client-system options dsm.sys.
This option is placed in the client options file (dsm.opt).
Parameters
- repl_servername
- Specifies the name of the secondary server to be used during a failover. This value is usually the name of the secondary server, not the host name of the server.
Examples
- Options file:
- REPLSERVERName TargetReplicationServer1
- Command line:
- Does not apply.
- Options file:
- The following example demonstrates how to specify options for three different servers in the
dsm.sys file, and how to reference the secondary server. Connection information for multiple
secondary server is presented in stanzas. Each
stanza is identified by the replservername option and the name of the secondary server. The servername
stanza must contain the myreplicationserver option, which points to the
secondary server that is specified by the
replservername stanza. Only one secondary server can be specified per
servername
stanza.
