Using DSMCAD on Ubuntu

[Arney]

Hi there,

I'd like to use Tivoli Client 6.4.4 on an Ubuntu Precise LTS Server. The TSM server is managed
by a provider an I have no access priviliges beyond my node account.

They told me to use dsmc method, but I'd like to use dsmcad method.

So I have DSMCAD running using dsm.sys:
defaultserver local
servername acme
tcpserveraddress server.ac.me
tcpport 1234
nodename MYNODE
managedservices schedule webclient
passwordaccess generate
encryptkey save
encryptiontype AES128
ERRORLOGNAME /var/log/tivoli/dsmerror.log
SCHEDLOGNAME /var/log/tivoli/dsmsched.log
schedlogretention 10
schedmode prompted
include.encrypt "*"
include "*"
exclude.dir "/dev"
exclude.dir "/proc"
exclude.dir "/sys"
exclude.dir "/tmp"
exclude.dir "/home"

dsm.opt
servername acme
subdir yes
domain / /srv/ /srv/backup

Problem: My node is registered for WD0900 schedule, but DSMCAD doesn't start backup
on server invitation. Log files are empty.

Is there an error in my config or does there need to be a special config on the TSM server
to allow for the use of dsmcad?

What do you mean by 'WD0900 schedule'?

Anyway, the dsmcad service must be running in order to allow it to invoke the backup schedule.

WD0900 = working days at 9am

Sure the service is running (as per 'ps -d | grep dsmcad' or 'service dsmcad status'). I'm using Timo Scheller's script from
http://wiki.gwdg.de/index.php/TSM_Client_unter_Ubuntu_Debian

Hi Arney,

I guess there is some firewall somewhere and that only a few TCP ports are openned.

You're using a "CAD managed sheduler" regarding the managedservices option.

The tcpport option is used by "dsmc sched", and not by the "CAD managed sheduler".

The "CAD managed scheduler" uses two random ports, unless you define them using the webports option.
