This section summarizes example commands that can be used for the scheduling tasks that are discussed in this chapter. See Administrator's Reference for server command details.
Define a schedule for a client:
define schedule engpoldom daily_backup starttime=21:00 duration=2 durunits=hours
Associate a client with a schedule:
define association engpoldom weekly_backup engnode
On the client workstation, start the scheduler: On most clients:
> dsmc schedule
On Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients:
> net start "TSM Scheduler"
Check the Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients for details about automatically starting the scheduler and running the scheduler in the background.
Display schedule information:
query schedule engpoldom
Check to see if the schedule ran successfully:
query event engpoldom weekly_backup begindate=-7 begintime=now enddate=today endtime=now
