Before you can start
the server as a Windows service,
you must ensure that options and access rights are set correctly.
Before you begin
A Windows service
must be created. If you configured the server by using the configuration
wizard or upgraded the server by using the upgrade wizard, a Windows service was created automatically.
In that case, use this procedure to configure the server to start
as a Windows service.
If
you did not use a wizard, you must create and configure the Windows service manually by following
the steps in Windows: Manually creating and configuring a Windows service.
Procedure
- From the Windows Start menu,
click Run, type services.msc,
and click OK.
- In the Services window, select the
server instance that you want to start as a service, and click Properties. For example, select TSM INST1, and
click Properties.
- To ensure that the server service starts automatically,
click the General tab. From the Startup
type list, select Automatic.
- To set the user for starting the server service, click
the Log On tab, and take one of the following
actions:
- If you plan to run the server service under the Local System
account, select Local System account and click OK.
- If you plan to run the server service under the instance user
ID, take the following actions:
- Select This account, and browse for the
user ID that owns the server DB2® instance
and has permissions for starting the server.
- In the Select User window, in the Enter
the object name to select field, enter the user ID.
- Click Check Names.
- Click OK twice.
- If you configured the server service to run under the Local
System account, grant database access to the Local System account:
- Log on with the user ID that was used to create the Tivoli Storage
Manager server database.
This user ID is the user ID that was used to run the DSMSERV
FORMAT utility to initialize the server database. Alternatively,
if you configured the server with the dsmicfgx configuration
wizard, this user ID is the user ID that was used to create the instance.
- Open a DB2 command
window by taking one of the following actions:
- If the Tivoli Storage
Manager server
is installed on Windows Server
2008 or Windows Server 2008
R2, click .
- If the Tivoli Storage
Manager server
is installed on Windows Server
2012, open the Start window, and click DB2
Command Window - Administrator.
- In the DB2 command
window, enter the following commands:
set DB2INSTANCE=server1
db2 connect to TSMDB1
db2 grant dbadm with dataaccess with accessctrl on database to user system
db2 grant secadm on database to user system
Tip: When
the server service is configured to run under the Local System account,
the database can be accessed by any administrator on the system. In
addition, any administrator who can log on to the system can run the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
What to do next
To start the service, follow the instructions
in
Windows: Starting the server as a Windows service.
