I believe it gets read when the service starts.  I would recommend
starting and stopping all your TSM client services on the node you
change the dsm.opt on.

Subject: when is dsm.opt read?

Server 5.1.1    client Netware 4.2 with 4.2.1 client software

If I make a change to the DSM.OPT, will it take effect at the next
backup? (Does the dsm.opt get read every time, or just when the acceptor
( dsmcad )is loaded? )
                                Thanks, Doug
