dsmcutil - install client service for windows cluster can't find opt file

[sjhorvath]

Hi,



In running the command below to configure services on a

windows cluster and we get "unable to locate options file"



If I cut and paste c:\tivoli\tsm\baclient\system18a.opt into

explorer, it will locate the file, so it doesn't appear to be a typo.

This happens wheter in a bat file or on the command line...?



Any ideas appreciated!



dsmcutil install SCHEDuler /name:"TSM Scheduler for system18a" /clientdir:"c:\tivoli\tsm\baclient" /optfile:"c:\tivoli\tsm\baclient\system18a.opt" /node:system18a /password:***** /autostart:yes > c:\temp\sched_service.log

Time to and answer my own question...



The stupid notepad application saved my opt file as:

system18a.opt.txt but it was not visible in explorer, when

poking around on the command line I found it. :evil:



Oh well, I guess an MSCE would have known better

A good idea is under tools-->folder options-->view-->Hide file extension for know types

be sure this is unchecked. You just have to be sure and save files with the right extension, not that big a deal and good practice anyway.

For a cluster node, you are having option file locally?



If any changes need to be made, it should be done on both nodes !!



Otherwise after fail over it will use different version of opt file.
