I'm used to associate the scheduler with the dsmcad. Which mode do you prefer ?

Hello Wanda,

Please note that Jeanne seems to use the TSM Scheduler in the "traditional 
autonomous" mode, not in "CAD managed" mode.
The script provided with the client package begining with TSM 6.3 only allows 
to start the dsmcad, and not "dsmc sched".

A news script must be written, or the managedservices option must be change to 
include schedule also.

It's not the redhat book, it's just the TSM client  book for Unix.  I'll mail 
you a copy directly.
And those are all the instructions!  

The client install *should* have created everything you need.  

Once you have set up the dsm.sys so that you can successfully run dsmc i, try 
doing this (as root):

chkconfig  --add dsmcad  (that's a space and 2 hyphens) service dsmcad start

Then do:  ps -ef | grep dsm

You should see the dsmcad daemon running, and it should restart after a reboot.

Thanks.  We are only at v 6.4.1 for linux right now.
But I will find the redhat book for 6.4.1 and see there in instructions for the 
auto startup.

Dunno what version of the client you are installing, or what version of Linux? 
But the client manual says how to do it on Linux now if it's relatively recent. 

All I do on Redhat is follow these instructions from the book below.
I do the :"hkconfig --add dsmcad" (those are 2 hyphens), then "service dsmcad 
start". 

<< snip from 7.1.1 book >>
On Linux clients, the installation program creates a startup script for the 
client acceptor daemon (dsmcad) in /etc/init.d. The client acceptor daemon 
(dsmcad) must be started before it can manage scheduler tasks, or manage the 
web client. As root, use the following command to start, stop, or restart the 
daemon, or check its status:
 service dsmcad start
        stop
        restart
        status
To enable the Client Acceptor Daemon to start automatically after a system 
restart, add the service as follows, at a shell prompt:
# chkconfig --add dsmcad

Hello.  On a windows box, when installing TSM, there's the option towards the 
end of the client install to choose whether you want the TSM server to start up 
automatically when the client server (node) has been restarted.
How do I do this on a linux box?  I thought if I put:
"item::once: /usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # TSM scheduler"
in the etc/inittab file, this was the auto startup.

But this does not auto start the 'dsmc schedule', because the node missed the 
backup and I have to manually do the 'nohup' command.

I'm not seeing anything on the GUI and I don't know if I need anything 
additional in the .opt or .sys file.
I have 'managedservices  webclient' currently in the .sys file.

In this link:  
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__kb.mit.edu_confluence_display_istcontrib_TSM-2B6-2Bfor-2BLinux-2B-2D-2BInstall-2C-2BConfigure-2C-2BSet-2BUp-2C-2Band-2BConfirm-2Bthe-2BScheduler&d=AwIFAg&c=BY0WRPt8vrhqs_gNwjcMsqT0O3k78MJMGj95ah0eDEA&r=7l_gtgCLb17w6YLNyl5xk2NLH8XcWIQUFrWhANDp1mE&m=7jle81k8NcMseFKXenq1iad-MMDOzObZDCjFHcc1Zcs&s=Hew1At-2H4Pku2TnCueQs4CRN9mx8L6HhAquwJirGu8&e=
It mentions that using the /etc/inittabl to autostart doesn't seem to work any 
more and it suggests to create a /etc/init/dsm-sched.conf file with some 
start,stop,respawn and exec options.

Any thoughts, knowledge, comments will be appreciated.

Thanks!
