Re: Default Server option
We are trying to use the default server option within the dsm.sys file due to the fact that we will soon be migrating to a new TSM server instance and it does not seem to work... Our current/default server we use is ADSM and the new instance is TSMDEV as shown below. Does anyone have any idea as to why this isn't working? ... Joni - You need to tell us how the client attempted to use the new stanza. Has to be invoked with -SErvername=TSMDEV since the DEFAULTSERVER ADSM spec is still in effect in your client options file. Beyond that, you have to tell us what evidence indicates ...isn't working. Richard Sims
Re: Default Server option
I guess to clarify, we put the defaultserver parameter into the dsm.sys file at the top and want all backups/archives to still go to the ADSM server, not TSMDEV server. Currently when we try any backups/archives with the setup provided it STILL tries to go to TSMDEV. I'm confused as to why this is occuring... I guess from your question you are asking if we issued the command via dsmadmc or if it was a scheduled backup? It was done via dsmadmc. Even though we stated that the default server should be ADSM, from your statement, I am assuming that we still have to use -SErvername=ADSM in order to get it to go to the default server? I had thought that the defaultserver parameter would automatically take care of this. We don't want it going to TSMDEV yet since I still have some things to set up before testing begins and that is exactly where it IS going. I hope my babbling made some sense If not, let me know. Thanks again!

Thanks again! Thanks for the supp. info. If dsm/dsmc operations are not using the DEFAULTServer-specified stanza, then something would be overriding to specify the other one. If not -SErvername=ADSM on the command line, then I would expect it to be that spec in your dsm.opt file. back to my house painting, Richard Sims
Re: Default Server option
Also, did you bounce the client after making the dsm.sys change? -Original Message- From: Joni Moyer [mailto:] Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 4:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Default Server option I guess to clarify, we put the defaultserver parameter into the dsm.sys file at the top and want all backups/archives to still go to the ADSM server, not TSMDEV server.
