The client options file connects each node to the server. Administrators and users on all platforms can modify their client options file (dsm.opt) with a text editor. Client options files can be updated differently across platforms.
On the Windows platform, you can use a wizard to
work with the client options file.
Important: If any
changes are made to the dsm.opt file, the client
must be restarted for changes in the options file to have any affect.
The
client options file dsm.opt is located in the
client, application client, or host server directory. If the file
does not exist, copy the dsm.smp file. Users
and administrators can edit the client options file to specify:
- The network address of the server
- The communication protocol
- Backup and archive options
- Space management options
- Scheduling options
