Monitoring server activities from the administrative client

To monitor Tivoli® Storage Manager activities, such as server migration and client logons, run the administrative client in console mode. You cannot enter any administrative commands in console mode.

• To start an administrative client session in console mode, enter the following command:

  dsmadmc -consolemode

  You are prompted for a password if authentication is turned on for the server. If you do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, enter the DSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.

• To end an administrative client session in console mode, use a keyboard break sequence.

  Operating system	Break sequence
  UNIX and Linux clients	Ctrl+C
  Windows clients	Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break
