Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide


Starting the Client Scheduler

Start the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Scheduler by using one of the following methods:

To configure the TSM Scheduler on Windows:

  1. From the Tivoli Storage Manager GUI, open the Utilities menu and select the Setup Wizard.
  2. Select the Help me configure the TSM Client Scheduler checkbox. Follow the instructions on the screen to install and configure the client scheduler.
  3. Use the Client Acceptor service to manage the client scheduler. See Managing the Client Scheduler Using the Client Acceptor Service for more information.

For Windows NT, 2000 clients, you can also use the Scheduler Service Configuration utility. The Scheduler Service Configuration utility must be run from an account that belongs to the Administrator/Domain Administrator group. You can start multiple client scheduler services on your system. For additional information, see Appendix C, Using the Client Service Configuration Utility (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Windows.NET).

Note:
Running the Client Scheduler on the command line is not preferred for Windows NT, 2000 since it does not run the scheduler as a background service.

When you start the client scheduler, it runs continuously until you close the window, shut down your system, or log out of your system. If you are running the Scheduler Service on Windows NT or Windows 2000, the scheduler runs until the system is shutdown or you explicitly stop it via the services control panel. For information on scheduling options, see Chapter 9, Setting Processing Options.
