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 client 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

Keep the file open for the next step.

c.Specify the communications method between the Tivoli Storage Manager client and server. 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 TCPPport 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.

d.Edit the dsm.opt file to specify the server name of the dsm.sys stanza edited in step 3b. For example,

servername tsmsrver

e.Add the following options to the same dsm.sys stanza edited in step 3b. These options specify that the client will use SAN-attached devices when the path is available, during backup, restore, archive, and retrieve processing.

enablelanfree yes LANFREECommmethod TCPIP LANFREETCPPORT 1500

or

LANFREECommmethod SharedMem LANFREESHMPORT 1510

4.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 on how to set up these environment variables.
