API if not already installed on the system, or upgrade the software to the latest
level as necessary. The latest levels can be downloaded from the IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager Web site at www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/
support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html. If you are using the storage agent to
support multiple clients, you must install or upgrade the client and API
software on each client that will be supported.
2. Be sure you have the information recorded on the forms in “Configuration
Information Worksheets” on page 13. This information is required in this
procedure.
3. Modify the Tivoli Storage Manager options file (dsm.sys). For information

about the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files, see the Backup-Archive Clients Installation

and User’s Guide.

a. Locate the options file and open it. The file could be located in one of
several places, such as the installation directory, or pointed to by an
environment variable.
b. Specify the Tivoli Storage Manager server name. This information will come
from the client system and server system configuration-information
worksheets. For example:
servername tsmsrver
c. Specify the communications method between the client and server.
Table 3. Communications methods

To use this communication

method... Install this software...

To connect to these Tivoli

Storage Manager servers...
TCP/IP TCP/IP (Standard with
supported AIX platforms)
AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris,
Windows, z/OS
Shared memory TCP/IP (Standard with
supported AIX platforms)

AIX

For more information, see the commethod option in the IBM Tivoli Storage

Manager for UNIX and Linux: Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User’s

Guide.Again, this information will come from the client system and server

system configuration-information worksheets, as will the information for the
next steps. For example:
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPServeraddress tsmsrver.tucson.ibm.com
TCPPort 1502

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

TCPPORT is 1500.
Keep the file open for the next step.
4. Add the following options to the same dsm.sys stanza edited in step 3c. These
options specify that the client will use SAN-attached devices when the path is
available, during backup, restore, archive, and retrieve processing.
