IBM SC32-0129-00 manual Adding Communication Information for the Storage Agent, Format, Parameters

Page 62

However, if the storage agent inaccurately identifies a LAN-free destination and the server is unable to process the request, the operation has advanced past the point where LAN failover will occur and the storage agent request will be unsuccessful. If this occurs, halt and restart the storage agent and then retry the operation.

Adding Communication Information for the Storage Agent

The DSMSTA SETSTORAGESERVER utility initializes the storage agent and adds communication information to the device configuration file and the dsmsta.opt file. Use this utility on the client system where the storage agent has been installed. See “Install and Configure the Storage Agent” on page 21 for more information on when to use this command.

This utility does not remove any previous entries in the files. It appends information to the existing files. The option DEVCONFIG, which sets a name for the device configuration file, must be in the dsmsta.opt file for the command to work. See “Examples” on page 45 for details on the information that the command adds.

Format

DSMSTA SETSTORAGESERVER MYName = storage_agent_name

MYPAssword = storage_agent_password

MYHLAddress = storage_agent_hladdress SERVERName = server_name

SERVERPAssword = server_password HLAddress = server_tcpip_address

LLAddress = server_tcpip_port

Parameters

All parameters are required.

Note: Allowed abbreviations for the options are shown in uppercase letters.

MYName

Specifies the name of the storage agent. This name appears in the SET

STANAME command that is inserted into the device configuration file.

Note: You must use the same name when you define the storage agent as a server to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.

MYPAssword

Specifies the password of the storage agent. This value is encrypted and used in the SET STAPASSWORD command that is inserted into the device configuration file.

Note: You must use the same password when you define the storage agent as a server to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.

MYHLAddress

Specifies the TCP/IP address of the storage agent. This value is used internally in the SET STAHLAddress command that is inserted into the device configuration file.
