The Device Configuration File for the Storage Agent

The device configuration file for the storage agent includes information on the storage agent itself and information about the TSM server with which the storage agent communicates. The file is typically named devconfig and is with the storage agent program at this location: /opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin. The DSMSTA SETSTORAGESERVER command normally generates the contents of the file. If you have changes to the TSM server or if a service representative directs you, you may need to make changes to the information. You can use the DSMSTA SETSTORAGESERVER command to add information to the file.

Typical contents of the device configuration file are as follows:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|SET STANAME storagnt                                                            |
|SET STAPASSWORD fun4me                                                          |
|SET STAHLADDRESS agent.tucson.ibm.com                                           |
|DEFINE SERVER tsmsrver serverpassword=not4u                                     |
|	HLADDRESS=tsmsrver.tucson.ibm.com LLADDRESS=1502                               |
|                                                                                |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

In this example, STORAGNT is the name of the storage agent and TSMSRVER is the name of the TSM server.

The following describes the contents of the file:

SET STANAME
Sets the name of the storage agent. The name must be the same as the name that was used to define the storage agent as a server to the TSM server.

SET STAPASSWORD
Sets the password of the storage agent. The password must be the same as the password that was used when defining the storage agent as a server to the TSM server. The password is encrypted.

SET STAHLADDRESS
Sets the TCP/IP address of the storage agent.

DEFINE SERVER
The definition of the TSM server with which the storage agent communicates.
