David,
     Here is a script we use to start and stop multiple dsmcad processes
(we have three TSM clients backing up one VERY large Linux server).
 
#!/bin/bash
# A script to start up the TSM clients.  Note that there are two TSM
clients
# on this system, which connect to two different TSM server instances.

 I hope this helps!

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM client backing up to two TSM servers
From: David E Ehresman <deehre01 AT LOUISVILLE DOT EDU>

I'm trying (for political reasons) to back up a linux TSM client (v5.4)
to two different servers (v5.4). I have two stansa in dms.sys, each one
pointing to one of the servers. I have two opt files, each one poionting
to a different stanza in the dsm.sys. I can dsmc -optfile=xxxxx to each
of the servers. How do I set up two dsmcad's talking to the two servers,
each listening for a schedule?
