Configure TSM
If
you are setting up TSM on your system for the first time,
you'll need to download the MIT TSM sample configuration
files for UNIX -- dsm.sys and dsm.opt -- then edit the
dsm.sys file.
-
Download the MIT sample
configuration files to this directory:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/
dsm.sys
dsm.opt
Note: It is assumed that
the dsm.sys file is controlled by the root user.
-
Open the dsm.sys file, and
enter your TSM nodename in the NODename line. The sample
shown in the next step uses the nodename COMPUTER1.
-
Specify your assigned TSM
server by uncommenting the appropriate TCPServeraddress
line. The sample below uses the server backup-a.
If you are unsure of your
TSM server, check the confirmation email sent from the
Computing Helpdesk, or contact the Computing Helpdesk:
617-253-1101 OR computing-help@mit.edu.
Excerpt from sample dsm.sys file

server that
