Creating client option sets on the server

An administrator can create a set of client options to be used by a client node that is at IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 3 or later. The client options specified in the set are used in conjunction with the client options dsm.opt file.

About this task

Client option sets allow the administrator to specify additional options that may not be included in the client's option file (dsm.opt). You can specify which clients use the option set with the REGISTER NODE or UPDATE NODE commands. The client can use these defined options during a backup, archive, restore, or retrieve process.

Procedure

To create a client option set and have the clients use the option set, perform the following steps:

Create the client option set with the DEFINE CLOPTSET command.
Add client options to the option set with the DEFINE CLIENTOPT command.
Specify which clients should use the option set with the REGISTER NODE or UPDATE NODE command.
