With the Server install create a batch program that will use dsmfmt commands
then call macro programs to perform the  define statements for volume
locations as well as domains, clients, schedules, etc..
When installing the client one thing you may try is creating the necessary
options in the BA_DSM.opt file located in the config directory at install.
You can specify the variables needed for certain clients then after install
they will be used from the DSM.opt that is created.
