Tivoli Storage Manager for HP-UX Quick Start


Defining Environment Variables

If you want to run the TSM server from a directory other than the default directory or to run multiple servers, you may have to define environment variables.

An environment variable describes the operating environment of a process, such as the home directory or the terminal in use. It provides the path that the server requires to find and create files.

For example, to define the DSMSERV_DIR environment variable to point to the directory so that the server can find various server files, enter:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|export DSMSERV_DIR=/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin                                   |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

You can also define an environment variable to point to the server options file. For example, to define the DSMSERV_CONFIG environment variable to point to the server options file, enter:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|export DSMSERV_CONFIG=/users/myserver/filename.opt                              |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

where filename is the name you assigned your server options file (dsmserv.opt).
