Question
How to determine which option value will be honored by the Tivoli Storage Manager server when multiple entries for the same server option exist in the dsmserv.opt file.
Cause
When issuing the SETOPT command to dynamically change server options, the Tivoli Storage Manager server will append the new option/value to the end of the dsmserv.opt file. This can result in multiple entries for the same option being specified in the dsmserv.opt file.
Answer
During initialization, the Tivoli Storage Manager server will only acknowledge the last value specified for this option in the dsmserv.opt file. The QUERY OPT command can be issued on the Tivoli Storage Manager server to determine which values are being honored by the server for the various options.
