Chapter 4. Backup-archive client installation
115
We provide recommended option files for the various client platforms, as the
layout of the supplied options file is not immediately intuitive.
The backup-archive client has at least one configuration file, which is divided into
the following parts:
򐂰
Communication options
򐂰
Operational options
򐂰
Site-dependent options
򐂰
Include-exclude options
Some of the configuration steps on the client side may need complementary
configuration on the Tivoli Storage Manager server side.
On all non-UNIX platforms, all options reside in the client options file, dsm.opt
(Preferences file for Macintosh), which resides by default in the Tivoli Storage
Manager client installation directory.
On UNIX (including Linux), the root user can set options in three different files:
򐂰 Client system options file (dsm.sys)
Contains options required to establish communication with a Tivoli Storage
Manager server and options that authorize users on the client node to use
Tivoli Storage Manager services. It can also contain options that affect
backup and archive processing, and options that affect scheduled services.
򐂰 Client user options file (dsm.opt)
Contains options that determine which Tivoli Storage Manager server is used,
and that specify the formats for date, time, and numbers. It can also contain
options affecting backup, archive, restore, and retrieve processing. Users can
also create their own personalized client user options file if they want to use
different options. Options from a client user options file can be over-ridden by
using appropriate Tivoli Storage Manager commands.
򐂰 Include-exclude options file
Specifies file and directory patterns to be included or excluded from backup
services. It also contains statements to associate specific files with different
management classes. This file can be called any legal file name and be
located in any directory, provided that its full path name is referenced in the
dsm.sys file.
Because there are many different options and settings possible in these files, we
provide recommended client options files for various client platforms in “Client
options files” on page 746. We assume that TCP/IP is the network protocol. Most
options may also be centrally set using client option sets on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. See 8.3, “Client option sets” on page 298, for more information
about this.
