dsmcad
The Tivoli Storage Manager Remote Client Agent service must not be started manually. It is automatically started by the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor service when needed.
The options that are only applicable to the dsmcad program are httpport, managedservices, and webports. You can also use options such as optfile or errorlogname. You can use the managedservices option to specify whether the Tivoli Storage Manager client acceptor daemon also manages the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler.
You can open the web client from the Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center interface. To enable this feature, you must specify the web client address in the URL parameter of the REGISTER NODE or UPDATE NODE command. The web address must include the DNS name or IP address of the node, and the port number for the web client (for example, http://node.example.com:1581).
All web client messages are written to the web client log file, dsmwebcl.log. Error messages are written to the error log file dsmerror.log, or the file you specify with the errorlogname option. The dsmwebcl.log and dsmerror.log files are in the directory that you specify with the DSM_LOG environment variable or in the current working directory. Set this environment variable to the directory where the log files should reside. The root directory is not a valid value for DSM_LOG. Specify a directory other than the root directory.
http://your_machine_name:1581
Port 1581 is the default port number. You can set a different port number by using the httpport option.
