James, Gyula, et. al,
First of all, thanks for all the info on the various facets of DB2 and ADSM.
Unfortunately I seem to be on a bit of an island with my NT (actually Windows 2000
Server) installation.
Question. The standard Microsoft implementation uses the dsm.opt file in the baclient
directory. Does the API implementation require a second dsm.opt file that the
dsmi_config variable points too? If, as intimated below, you want separate nodenames
for
the API and non-API data then that would seem to follow. Can anyone relate James'
excellent 'Quick Guide' notes to the MS environment? It would be a great help. My
interpretation is that a second dsm.opt file would live in the api directory with a
nodename distinct from the machine name.
3. create a plain text file dsm.opt in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin
It only needs one line, the value for SERVERNAME is arbitrary, but
must match the dsm.sys file
SERVERNAME DB2
4. create a plain text file dsm.sys in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin
It must contain at least the following.
SERVERNAME DB2
COMMMETHOD TCPIP
TCPSERVERADDRESS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
NODENAME DB2TSM
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
Of course the fact that there is no DB2 administrator around doesn't make matters any
easier :-(
