1) I'm not familiar with tsmcad (I'm on 4.2) and I use "dsmc sched" to
launch the schedule proceess

2a) as root - mkitab (local:2:once:/etc/rc.local 2>&1 > /dev/console))
(see 'man mkitab')
2b) in /etc/rc.local, include this line: 
nohup /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched >/dev/null 2>&1  &

You'll have to create your own rc.local, AIX doesn't include a sample. Mine
is owned by root:system and permisions of 744 -- here's part of it:

   ==================== begin rc.local ================
#!/bin/sh
#
# start entropy gathering daemon for ssh and gpg usage
/usr/bin/startsrc -s prngd 

# Set memory constraints
/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 8 -R 64
/ROOT/tuning.cust

 <<<< more site-specific stuff deleted ... >>>>>

#
# Application startup goes after this line . . .
#

# start ess paging spaces

/usr/sbin/swapon /dev/paging00 /dev/paging01

#
# start tsm server
#
/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmservnib >/dev/console 2>&1 &

# Need to let the server start up . . .
sleep 30

/usr/local/bin/start_adsm.sh

======================= end rc.local =====================

In my case, I've put the 'nohup /usr/tivoli. . .' as the one-line entry in
/usr/local/bin/start_adsm.sh (and this is the entry from my TSM server
system).

Subject: AIX Client automatic start for dsmcad


Hi,

Where is the best place for starting dsmcad during boot on AIX 4.3.3?

Like /etc/rc.d/rc.local for Linux


I got some suggestions yesterday but not really described exactly.

I'm not a AIX Guru but I know Linux.

ManagedServices is webclient schedule

dsmcad is in   /var/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/

I'm asking for:

1. On AIX is the TSMCAD Daemon the best way to run the Schedule?

2. Name of the scriptfile for start, based on the answer on the first Q.

3. Correct syntax for that entry, based on the answer on the first Q.


Thanks i advance
