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
TCPPort 1502
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
Note: 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.
On the same system as the client, install the storage agent. The default installation
directory is /usr/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin. The instructions in this section are
shown using the Software Management and Installation Tool (SMIT). You can also
use the Install and Update Software Manager (installm).
Note: Throughout this procedure, /dev/cd0 is used for CD-ROM. This may be
different in your environment. Loading the storage agent files can take
several minutes.
1. Be sure you have the information recorded on the forms in “Configuration
Information Worksheets” on page 13. This information is required in this
procedure.
2. Log in as the root user.
3. Load the storage agent CD into the selected drive.
4. From your desktop window, access SMIT and make selections according to the
level of your AIX operating system.
