Explanation

Common reasons for this error include:
  • The default options file does not exist.
  • You specified the -OPTFILE option when starting the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager client, but the options file you provided does not exist.
  • The DSM_CONFIG (or DSMI_CONFIG if you are using the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager API) environment variable specifies an options file that does not exist.
  • You specified the -OPTFILE option when starting the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client, but the options file that you provided is not in the standard file encoding of the system. For example, on Windows the expected file encoding is ANSI.
  • You specified the -OPTFILE option when starting the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client, but the options file that you provided does not have appropriate read permissions for the user that is running the operation.

System action

User response

Make sure that the options file you want to use exists, it has the read rights set for the user that is running the operation, and it is in the standard file encoding of the system. For example, on Windows the expected file encoding is ANSI. Review the configuration information in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client manual specific to your operating system. If the problem persists, ask your IBM Tivoli Storage Manager administrator for further assistance.
