Methods for Creating or Updating a Client Options File

There are several methods for creating or updating TSM client options files. The available methods depend on the client platform.

Using a Text Editor

All TSM options files (dsm.opt) can be edited with a text editor. Anyone can edit the client options file if they have access to the directory where the node software is installed. Editing individual options files is the most direct method, but may not be suitable for sites with many client nodes.

Using the Client Configuration Wizard

When a local backup-archive client GUI starts initially and TSM does not find an options file, a setup wizard guides the client through the configuration process.

From the backup-archive client GUI, the client can also display the setup wizard by selecting Utilities>Setup Wizard. The client can follow the panels in the setup wizard to browse TSM server information in the Active Directory. The client can determine which server to connect to and what communication protocol to use.

Note:This wizard is not available for the web client.
