Modifying the Server Options File

At installation, Tivoli Storage Manager provides a server options file named dsmserv.opt with a set of default options to start the server. You can modify server options by using the options file editor included in the TSM server utilities GUI. This editor provides communications parameter detection, value validation, and context sensitive help for all options. The options file editor is the preferred way to change server options, but you can also use a text editor.

At server initialization, the server reads the server options file. If you update a server option by editing the file, you must stop and start the server to activate the updated server options file. You can change some options dynamically by issuing the SETOPT command. See SETOPT (Set a Server Option for Dynamic Update) for details.
