3.4.3 Post-installation steps
After the installation, the server does not start automatically. We need to
customize the server options file, /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt. As
shown in Example 3-6, the default dsmserv.opt file created at installation only
defines a minimum of possible server options and is not sufficient to start the
server.
Example 3-6 Default dsmserv.opt file after installation
[root@palau:/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin]# more dsmserv.opt
*** IBM TSM Server options file
*** Refer to dsmserv.opt.smp for other options
COMMMETHOD TCPIP
TCPPORT 1500
Example 3-7 shows our edited server options file.
Example 3-7 Edited dsmserv.opt
[root@palau:/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin]# more dsmserv.opt
*** IBM TSM Server options file
*** Refer to dsmserv.opt.smp for other options
COMMMETHOD TCPIP
TCPPORT 1500
TCPADMINPORT 1501
DEVCONFIG devcnfg.out
EXPINTERVAL 0
After this, we started the server with the dsmserv command from the server
executable directory, /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin, as shown in Example 3-8.
