Scenario 4: Creating a Windows service for the server instance

A Windows service is created for the Tivoli® Storage Manager V7.1 server automatically if you use the upgrade wizard (dsmupgdx). If you do not use the wizard, you must create the Windows service for the Tivoli Storage Manager server manually.

1. Change to the installation directory for the server program. By default, the directory is C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\console. If you installed the server in a different directory, change to the console subdirectory of the server installation directory.
2. Install the Windows service by using the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance name and password in the service name. Issue the following command:

   install "TSM server_instance_name"
    "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server\dsmsvc.exe"
   instance_owner instance_owner_password

   where:
   • "TSM server_instance_name" is the name of the service that is being installed.
   • server_instance_name is the instance name that was specified when you issued the db2icrt command.
   • instance_owner is the instance owner account; this account will own the service.
   • instance_owner_password is the password for the instance owner account.

   Example

   To install the Windows service for the server1 server instance, enter the following command on one line. The example uses rudy as the instance owner and s21ret as the password for the instance owner account.

   install "TSM server1" "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server\dsmsvc.exe"
   rudy s21ret

3. Optional: Manually change the service to an automatic startup type by using Windows administrative tools (Administrative Tools > Services).
