IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for UNIX and Linux, Version 4.1

Tivoli Storage Manager option files used by Data Protection for Oracle

When using Data Protection for Oracle, the following Tivoli® Storage Manager option files are used:

Client system options (dsm.sys)
Client user options (dsm.opt)
Data Protection for Oracle options (tdpo.opt)
RMAN backup script

Example 1 shows you how to configure the system options file (dsm.sys) to point to the same Tivoli Storage Manager.

In the following examples, the client user options file dsm.opt, stored in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin and /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin directories, includes a server with the following TCP/IP address: arrow.la.xyzcompany.com. The servername option in the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files define the server stanza names only. The tcpserveraddress option indicates which server is contacted.

For the dsm.opt file that is stored in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin directory, use the following example:

servername tdphdw

For the dsm.sys file that is stored in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin directory, use the following example:

servername          tdphdw
   commmethod       tcpip
   tcpport          1500
   tcpserveraddress arrow.la.xyzcompany.com
   passwordaccess   generate
   schedmode        prompted
   nodename         hdworc1

For the dsm.opt file that is stored in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin directory, use the following example:

servername tdporc

For the dsm.sys file that is stored in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin directory, use the following example:

servername          tdporc
   commmethod       tcpip
   tcpport          1500
   tcpserveraddress arrow.la.xyzcompany.com
   passwordaccess   prompt
   nodename         hdworc1

Example 2 shows you how to configure multiple server stanzas in the system options file (dsm.sys).

To configure multiple server stanzas in the system options file (dsm.sys), copy the option settings from the Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases: Data Protection for Oracle dsm.sys file to the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy® Manager dsm.sys file. For example, a combined dsm.sys file for a server with the name arrow:

servername          tdphdw
   commmethod       tcpip
   tcpport          1500
   tcpserveraddress arrow.la.xyzcompany.com
   passwordaccess   generate
   schedmode        prompted

servername          tdporc
   commmethod       tcpip
   tcpport          1500
   tcpserveraddress arrow.la.xyzcompany.com
   passwordaccess   prompt
