Hi,

Can anyone advise on how the TSM API client on a Content Manager on Windows
server can be configured to permit Content Manager to backup to multiple
TSM Servers?

Content Manager itself permits multiple 'server definitions' which seems to
replicate much of the information you would find in a dsm.opt file
(servername, tcpip address, tcpport, nodename, password). But it also only
permits you to identify a single dsm.opt file. I have a TSM background and
since this is a windows system, had expected to define multiple dsm.opt
files, one for each server. However it seems that only a single dsm.opt
file may be defined within Content Manager.

My Content Manager chap can see how he would configure Content Manager for
multiple TSM Servers - but I cannot see how I would configure the dsm.opt
in the api for multiple servers.
I'll stop repeating myself now. Any ideas/pointers?

Thanks,
