An environment variable describes the operating environment of a process, such as the home directory or terminal in use. To run the server from a directory other than the default directory (/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin), you may have to define environment variables. For example, to define the DSMSERV_DIR environment variable to point to the /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory so that the server can find files, enter:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |export DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can define an environment variable to point to the server options file (dsmserv.opt). For example, to define the DSMSERV_CONFIG environment variable to point to dsmserv.opt, enter:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |export DSMSERV_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can define an environment variable to point to the accounting log file (dsmaccnt.log):
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |export DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmaccnt.log | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The DSMLABEL utility, a standalone utility for labeling sequential access volumes to be used with TSM, must read the dsmserv.opt file to pick up the language option. Therefore, DSMLABEL must be issued from the /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/ directory, or the DSMSERV_DIR and DSMSERV_CONFIG environment variables must be set.
Notes:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |setenv DSMSERV_DIR /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |export DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
