OPT and SYS have different purposes/uses on Linux vs Windows.  DSM.SYS on
Linux does what DSM.OPT does on Windows. DSM.OPT is used for very few
parms - one is to select the appropriate stanza in a DSM.SYS file.

For example, here are lines in a DSM.SYS - note the "servername"

SErvername  oak4_weekly
   COMMMethod         TCPip
   TCPPort            1500
   TCPServeraddress   TSMLINUX7.UCC.VCU.EDU
   NODEName           oak4.weekly

   COMMMethod         TCPip
   TCPPort            1500
   TCPServeraddress   TSMLINUX7.UCC.VCU.EDU
   NODEName           oak4.logs
   PASSWORDACCESS     GENERATE

   HTTPPORT           1546

So, I have an OPT file called OAK4.WEEKLY which has one line in it:

SERVERNAME oak4_weekly

and one called OAK4.LOGS which has (you guessed it)

SERVERNAME oak4_logs

So, you would say:

dsmc q fi -optfile=
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/domino/bin/domdsmc_oak4/oak4.logs

or

dsmc q fi -optfile=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/domino/bin/domdsmc_oak4/
oak4.weekly
