Depending on the operating system, if you've installed the BA client,
you'll get the API also.

You'll want a different dsm.opt for each DB2 instance, IMO. We set
up a different stanza in dsm.sys for each instance, and identify the
TSM server stanza for 'this' instancd with the per-instance dsm.opt.
So, in
~ne6tst1 (test instance 1)
I've got environment variables such:
DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin
DSMI_CONFIG=/export/db2home/ne6tst1/tsm/tsm.opt
DSMI_LOG=/export/db2home/ne6tst1/tsm/
The tsm.opt looks like:
---
server dbback_ne6tst1
---
which is in turn a reference to a dsm.sys stanza like this:
---
servername dbback_ne6tst1
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPPort 1610
TCPWindowsize 64
TCPBuffsize 128
TCPServeraddress tsm-int.cns.ufl.edu
mailprog /usr/bin/xsend root
passwordaccess generate
nodename ne6tst1
