4.8.4 Starting the Web client
The Web client consists of two processes on the client workstation: the client
acceptor and remote client agent.
Client acceptor
The Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) is an HTTP daemon that serves the Web
client Java applet to the Web browser. The name of the executable is dsmcad.
On UNIX/Linux clients, it should be run as a daemon. To have the Web client
automatically available when the system is started, edit the /etc/inittab file on AIX
(or use the equivalent startup file on other UNIX variants) and add the following
entry:
dsmcad:2345:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad >/dev/console 2>&1 #Start
the TSM WEB agent
On Windows platforms use the dsmcutil utility or the GUI wizard to install the
client acceptor and remote agent services. Make sure that the startup options for
both services are set to automatic.
Remote client agent
The remote client agent performs the client functions initiated with the Web client
interface. The name of the executable is dsmagent. The agent does not run all
the time. The acceptor daemon starts the agent when client functions are
initiated through the Web client interface.
Web client
To access the Web backup-archive client, start your Web browser. In the
Location or Address field, enter the URL:
http://<machinename>:1581
Where <machinename> is the host name or TCP/IP address of the Tivoli
Storage Manager client machine that you want to connect to, and 1581 is the
TCP/IP port number set by the HTTPPORT option.
