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
