When the GUI client starts, it checks to see whether a client user options file
exists. If the client user options file does not exist (which is typically the case
when the client is first installed), the setup wizard automatically starts to guide
you through the configuration process. You can re-launch the setup wizard at
any time to modify your client configuration files.
The wizard creates the options files with the specified values, so it is an
alternative to setting all the options we have presented in the previous sections.
Note: If you are using the setup wizard in the Java GUI on UNIX or Linux
platforms, a new dsm.opt and dsm.sys is created, overwriting the existing
dsm.opt and dsm.sys file. The Java GUI should only be used for initial setup if
a previous dsm.opt or dsm.sys file does not exist; otherwise, existing dsm.opt
or dsm.sys files will be overwritten.
This does not apply to the native Windows and Macintosh clients.
4.4 UNIX/Linux configuration wizard
The configuration wizard figures and procedures described below were
performed on an AIX system; however, the techniques and options are similar on
all other platforms where the Java GUI is available.
The configuration wizard is used to create, update, and delete the client options
files.
In this section we show you how to create a new client options file using the client
configuration wizard in the backup-archive client Java GUI.
Important: Before configuring the client, the Tivoli Storage Manager
administrator must have defined the client to the Tivoli Storage Manager
server using the register node command. The administrator will supply you
with the defined node name and password to use in the configuration. See
8.2.3, "Working with client nodes" on page 292, for more information about
defining clients at the server.
