Thanks David. My Z\os, Linux, Network person tells me steps 1-5 are done.
As to step 6, that sounds like an individual user backing up his/her data. I'm looking to establish scheduled backups for a given Linux client from the TSM server on the Mainframe. Perhaps I should take this to IBM-Main. ________________________________________ From: Linux on 390 Port [linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of David Boyes [dbo...@sinenomine.net] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 2:19 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Setting up TSM backups to a Mainframe Server It's exactly like setting it up on AIX or Solaris. The basic steps are: 1) Unpack and install the RPM for the TSM client using rpm -i. 2) cd to wherever it installed it (we usually put it in /opt/tsm or /opt/dsmclient) 3) cp dsm.opt.smp to dsm.opt 4) edit dsm.opt to set any values you need (usually TCPSERVERADDRESS is probably the only line that absolutely MUST be changed -- change it to include the DNS name of the z/OS system). If you have any AIX or Solaris clients, your dsm.opt file will probably be identical to the ones used on that platform. May be the same as Windows, but it's been a long time since I used TSM for Windows, so YMMV. 5) If your TSM server is not set to open registration, get the TSM admin to register your client and give you a password. 6) Run 'dsmc incremental' from the Linux command line, give it the TSM client password, and you should be off to the races.
