Quick Start


Running Multiple Servers on a Single Machine

To run multiple TSM servers on a the same machine you must create multiple pairs of database and recovery log files. You do not have to copy the server executable files in more than one directory.

Note:You need separate licenses to run additional servers.

Use the following procedure to set up an additional server:

  1. Make the directory where you want the files created (for example /usr/local/myserv) and copy the server options file into that directory:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |mkdir /usr/local/newserv                                                        |
    |cp /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt /usr/local/newserv/dsmserv.opt        |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    Note:Ensure that the communication method parameters are different from those of the existing TSM servers. For example, the servers cannot use the same TCPPORT or HTTPPORT.

  2. During installation, set your path on the server console or from an aixterm session by defining the environment variables (see Defining Environment Variables). Ensure that you are in the new directory before continuing.

  3. Format the database and recovery log files and set up the server for the administrative web interface. For example, to format two 300MB database volumes and a 30MB recovery log volume, enter:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |dsmfmt -db dbvol2 300 dbvol3 300                                                |
    |dsmfmt -log logvol2 30                                                          |
    |dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/dsmserv.idl                    |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  4. Initialize the database and recovery log in the new server directory:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |dsmserv format 1 logvol2 2 dbvol2 dbvol3                                        |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
