Dual Server Install on one physical server

[SteveAdmin]

Hi there, I need to install a second instance of TSM Server on an already existing, up and running TSM Server. Do I simply click the install package? (It's on Win2k3) and choose another server name, or is there a recommended way to do this?

Many thanks

If you absolutely want to, you can do it manually, but "create another TSM server instance" or whatever its called in the installation wizard will be much simpler.

Hi,

use TSM Management Console, under "Tivoli Storage Manager" locate the server and after right click select "Add a new TSM server ..."

no need to run installer again

Thanks for the help guys, I've installed the server, gave it a name, it's up and running, I've made the entries in dsm.sys so that I can log into it.... and it logs me into "Server 1" rather than "Server 2". I'm guessing it get this from the I.P. address entry in dsm.sys. The I.P. is always going to be the same, as it's obviously referencing the physical windows server, but how do I log into the individual server instances? I can run commands on it from the management console, but I want to log in on a remote unix box, using putty, as I do for all the other servers, as in:-

dsmadmc -server=drserver

... and it's not playing..

Thanks

Hi,

dsmadmc -tcpserveraddress=server2.whatever.com -tcpport=xyz

xyz is from dsmserv.opt of server2

Hope it helps

[SteveAdmin]

dsmadmc -tcpserveraddress=server2.domain.co.uk -tcpport="c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\server2\dsmserv.opt"


This returns command line parameter is not valid?

Thanks

Hi,

sorry, was not clear enough ..... not the PATH to the dsmserv2.opt ... the port NUMBER you can find in that file

By default first server listens on 1500, second on 1501 etc ....

So try 1501 first and if it does not help, then look into the file for the port number

Hope it helps

Have you specified the tcp port in the dsmsys?

[SteveAdmin]

Using the management console command line, I can access the new server, a q status shows:-

tcp port number: 1501

...so that's ok.

I think my problem is that the TSM Server on the Unix box I use to access all my TSM Servers via putty is at Version 5.2.2, and it does not recognise the paramters. How else will I get putty to access this server for command line usage as I prefer to do? Windoze "cmd" is of no use, and I'd rather not use the management console command prompt....

Thanks for the help

Hang about... Both of your servers are trying to access port 1501?
When running multiple servers in a UNIX environment (surely windows is the same) you would usually make something like hops of 100 for your ports...

Now because 1500 is the default, I would be considering having neither server use that. Also have you defined a tcpadminport?

[SteveAdmin]

Just the second DR Server is set to 1501, the first is 1500.

I could do all the config. via the Management Console command line, but would prefrer the freedom putty offers.

It doesn't matter what OS the TSM server is running on, but once you have multiple server instances running, the only differentiation is the TCP port. 1500 default (server1), 1501 for (server2) etc. specified in the server options file.

You can run dsmadmc from any machine on any operating system to administer the server instances, as long as you've custom installed the TSM client and selected Administrative Command Line Interface'. You also should do this on the server even if you aren't going to backup the server as such, just so you can schedule jobs against itself etc and have access to this interface.

On a windows client for example, after I installed the extra's and was able to administer the first server, I then copied the default dsm.opt to dsm.server2.opt. Then edited the dsm.server2.opt and changed the 'tcpport 1500' option to 'tcpport 1600' (in my case).

Now you can run 'dsmadmc -optfile=dsm.server2.opt -id=admin -pa=admin' to access and administer the new server instance from anywhere.
