Daniel -

I can't thank you enough for the extremely well-written instructions on how
to run multiple ADSM services.  I just completed setting up two services
using two different options files going to two different servers and
everything ran perfectly.  You've helped me solve some ticklish problems
here.  Thanks much.

Subject: HOWTO: Multiple ADSM services for V2.-AKA running X services

Greetings,

 Several folks asked how to run multple services, each running a different
dsm.opt and possibly going to different ADSM servers.

This is pretty easy:
1: Stop all ADSM services, create the options files you will want to use
for each service.

2: Use DSMCSVCI to install a service and repeat this as often as desired.
Just use the same node to the same server at this point, obviously, the
services must be named different.  At this point, each service is
identical, except for the service name.

3: Update the registry entries using a registry editor.  Goto
System\CurrentControlSet\Services.  Each of the services you installed
should be shown there and have a parameters key.  Under this key there are
entries for the options files as well as others.  Point to options files
you have already created with the different entries.

3: Run DSMCSVCI again, and update the services as required.  For example, I
run 2 services to the same ADSM server with different node names.  I update
one of the services to change the nodename and password.

Good luck,
Daniel Thompson
