TCPBUFFSIZE
Specifies the size, in kilobytes, of the Tivoli Storage Manager internal TCP/IP
communication buffer. This setting is highly operating-system specific. You
must only use the allowed values for your TCP/IP implementation.
NODENAME
Indicates the client node name to over-ride the default value of the host
name.
HTTPPORT
Specifies a TCP/IP port where the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor
(Web client) will listen for potential connections from remote users. By default,
if the Web client is configured, it listens on port 1581.
WEBPORTS
Enables the use of the Web client outside a firewall by specifying the TCP/IP
port numbers used by the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor service and
Web Client Agent service for communications with the Web client.
When using firewalls: Use of firewalls requires additional configuration
settings and considerations when using Tivoli Storage Manager. To allow
clients to communicate with a server across a firewall, the ports specified
in these options must be open in the firewall:
TCPPORT
HTTPPORT
WEBPORTS
However, if the client scheduler is running in server-prompted mode, it is
not necessary to open any ports on the firewall. You can set the option
SESSIONINITIATION to serveronly in the client options file and then the
client will not attempt to contact the server. The SESSIONINITIATION
option only affects the behavior of the client scheduler when running in
prompted mode.
Operational options
Here are some examples of client options for backup, restore, and scheduling
services.
PASSWORDACCESS
Specifies whether you want your Tivoli Storage Manager client node
password to be automatically provided by the client whenever the client
initiates a session to the server or you want to be prompted to enter it. We
highly recommend setting PASSWORDACCESS to GENERATE, as this
