5.Edit the dsm.opt file to specify the server name that you added to the dsm.sys file in step 3b on page 20. In this example:

servername tsmsrver

6.If you are using a Tivoli Storage Manager data protection application client, configure the API by performing the following procedure:

a.Set up the environment variables. The Tivoli Storage Manager API uses unique environment variables to locate files.

v DSMI_CONFIG is the fully qualified name for the client user option file.

vDSMI_DIR points to the path containing dsm.sys, dsmtca, and the subdirectory en_US.

ven_US subdirectory must contain dsmclientV3.cat.

vDSMI_LOG points to the path for the dsierror.log file.

The following are examples of how to set up these environment variables:

export DSMI_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.opt export DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin

export DSMI_LOG=/home/user_a/logdir

Note: The quickest method to set the environment variables is to add these variables to the user’s .profile file.

b.Edit an existing stanza or create a new stanza in the dsm.sys file to specify the communications options between the Tivoli Storage Manager API and server. For example:

SErvername tsmsrver

COMMmethod TCPip

enablelanfree yes LANFREECommmethod TCPIP LANFREETCPServeraddress test.xyz.company.com

LANFREETCPPort 1500

TCPPort1502

TCPServeraddress tsmsrver.tucson.ibm.com

Note: A TCPPORT of 1502 is used in the examples; however, the default TCPPORT is 1500.

If a dsm.sys file does not exist in the directory specified by DSMI_DIR, create a symbolic link to the dsm.sys file in the Tivoli Storage Manager client installation directory. For example:

ln -s /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.sys

Install and Configure the Storage Agent

Notes:

1.Refer to the README file shipped on the product media for the most current information regarding installing and configuring the storage agent.

2.To reduce workload and processing time and to optimize LAN-free performance, do not install the storage agent and the Tivoli Storage Manager server on the same machine.

Make sure to stop all existing Tivoli Storage Manager products prior to installing the storage agent. Installation will stop when an active Tivoli Storage Manager process is detected. If this occurs, close all active Tivoli Storage Manager products and retry installing the storage agent.
