Myprimaryserver

The myprimaryserver option specifies the primary server name that the client uses to log on to the secondary server in failover mode.

During the normal (non-failover) logon process, the myprimaryserver option is sent to the client and is saved in the dsm.opt file. Do not edit this option during normal operations.

Important: If you change the value for the myprimaryserver option, authentication information such as the Tivoli® Storage Manager password and encryption key will no longer work with the new primary server. You will be prompted for the password and encryption key for operations that require authentication. Therefore, do not change this value even if you change the secondary server connection information.

Supported Clients

This option is valid only for Windows clients.

Options File

This option is placed in the client options file (dsm.opt).

Syntax


>>-MYPRIMARYServer----primary_servername-----------------------><

Parameters
