All options should be placed under the servername stanza in the dsm.sys file. The opt file should just hold the servername. There are a few options like the symbolic link etc, but all client options should be in the sys file.
So take out all the lines from the opt file other than the servername line. Then update the stanza in the sys file with all options. _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence Clark Sent: 23 October 2006 15:08 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TDP for Oracle on AIX...configuration changed the tdpo.opt to point to dsm.opt...........same error: ANS0220E (RC400) An invalid option was found during option parsing.
