Quick Start


Running Multiple Servers on a Single Machine

To run multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers on a the same machine, you must create multiple pairs of database and recovery log files. If the DSMSERV_DIR environment variable points to the server executable directory, you do not have to copy the server executable files in more than one directory.

Note:
You need separate licenses to run additional servers.

Use the following procedure to set up an additional server:

  1. Make the directory where you want the files created (for example /usr/local/newserv) and copy the server options file into that directory:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |mkdir /usr/local/newserv                                                        |
    |cp /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt /usr/local/newserv/dsmserv.opt        |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    If necessary, you can use a different options file for each server. Or, if the DSMSERV_CONFIG environment variable points to a server option file, that file can be used by both servers.

    Note:
    If you are using two options files, ensure that the communication method parameters are unique. For example, the servers cannot use the same TCPPORT or HTTPPORT.
  2. During installation, set your path on the server console or from an aix term session by defining the environment variables (see Defining Environment Variables). Ensure that you are in the new directory before continuing.
  3. Format the database and recovery log files and set up the server for the administrative Web interface. For example, to format two 300MB database volumes and a 30MB recovery log volume, enter:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |dsmfmt -db dbvol2 300 dbvol3 300                                                |
    |dsmfmt -log logvol2 30                                                          |
    |                                                                                |
    |dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/dsmserv.idl                    |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  4. Initialize the database and recovery log in the new server directory:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |dsmserv format 1 logvol2 2 dbvol2 dbvol3                                        |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
