Multiple nodes on linux

[JensD]

Hi

I've read the various guides on how to have 2 different dsmcad schedules (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269452 and http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21646832) where it seems I just need to have seperate client option files (dsm.opt).

However, since I'm still left with the same system option file (dsm.sys) I am a bit unsure on how to make sure I'm not backing up the same data twice under two different node names.

I'm in the situation where I need to backup certain data under a specific directory to another node, but still have everything else beeing backed up under the regular node.

One of the above guides (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21646832) simply state:

Create two unique node stanzas in the dsm.sys file

Does that mean that everything below "SERVERNAME TSMSRV1" is included in that particular server stanza - with everything I mean all includes/excludes, logfiles, preschedulecmds etc etc until the next "SERVERNAME TSMSRV2" stanza begins, and I ideally copy most settings but just have different include/excludes?

I'm about to touch an existing productionsystem, so I'd like to be sure before changing anything..

You need two different dsm.opt files as well, each specifying a different SERVER (stanza name from dsm.sys).
Dsmcad will select the stanza based on the stanza pointed to in the dsm.opt file. Default is /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt, but you can override that using the environment variable DSM_CONFIG.
First export DSM_CONFIG=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt and start the first dsmcad.
Then export DSM_CONFIG=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm2.opt and start the second dsmcad.

Hi hjb

Yes, I am quite aware of using seperate client option file for dsmcad, but I was asking about the includes/excludes in dsm.sys.

Then you are correct in your assumptions. All required options should be in every stanza, and they should mostly just be identical copies
