Re: Second TSM Instance

Guillaume

Take a look at the 5.3 Windows Installation Guide (winservinstall.pdf).
Chapter 3, after Installing Tivoli Storage Manager Server, there is a section 
called Installing Multiple Tivoli Storage Manager Servers on a Single machine.
The documentation is not that detailed, but if you wanted to see confirmation 
from IBM that it is possible, that's where it is. You simply use the wizard to 
add other instances.

These instances are denoted in the registry and by default are called 
"Server1", "Server2" etc. The instance specific files (dsmserv.opt, volhist, 
devconfig, etc) are stored in a sub-directory denoted by default as c:\program 
files\tivoli\tsm\Server1\ etc.
You can choose the name of the directories at conception in the wizard.

I have a Multi-Instance W2K3 server running with library sharing and it works 
fine. With the ability to address >4GB RAM and 64-bit OS, W2K3 is becoming a 
more viable option for larger multi-instance TSM operations.

I've been searching through IBM<s site and the list archives and all I have 
found on this topic was concerning UNIX. Is it possible to create a second 
instance of TSM on a Windows 2003 server?

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Second TSM Instance

When we recently started with multiple instances (on aix),, I implemented it by 
creating a directory for the each instance that contains the instance specific 
files.

    /tsmdata/<tsminstance>/config

I then created a soft link on the dsmserv binary to dsmserv_<tsminstance> in 
the normal tsm bin dir.  This way a "ps -ef | grep dsm" shows the symlink name.

In the config dir are scripts to start/stop the instance.  Here is the start 
script
for our instance "TSM1".    The actual tsm log and db are on raw volumes.
The dsmserv.opt and instance is setup to put volhist, dev config, accnt log, 
etc, etc in the same directory.

fe-bkup3:/tsmdata/tsm1/config==>cat rc.start_tsm1.ksh #!/bin/ksh # Set the 
language....
#
export LANG=en_US
#
# Max out size of data area
#

#
# Allow the server to pack shared memory segments # export EXTSHM=ON # setup to

export DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR=/tsmdata/tsm1/config
#

nohup dsmserv_tsm1    quiet &

Hi all,

I am planning to create a second instance in my TSM on Solaris 9. I have read 
on the quick reference guide, that I have to export the following environment 
variables:
DSMSERV_DIR
DSMSERV_CONFIG

To the new path of my second instance.

The change will affect to my first TSM instance...¿?

What does these environment variables do ¿?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Ibán.
