The server reads the server options file at server initialization. When you update a server option by editing the file, you must stop and start the server to activate the updated server options file.
About this task
You can change some options dynamically without stopping and starting the server, by using the SETOPT command. See SETOPT (Set a server option for dynamic update) for details.
The dsmserv.opt.smp file
(also provided at installation) contains the format of the options file and
all the default settings. You can change any options in the dsmserv.opt.smp file.
To have the server use the changed options, you must rename the
file to dsmserv.opt. To activate an option within the
server options file, remove the *>>> that precedes the option.
The server ignores any options preceded by *>>>.
You can modify
server options by using the options file editor included in the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Console.
This editor provides communications parameter detection, value validation,
and help for all options. The options file editor is the preferred way to
change server options, but you can also use a text editor.
