Environment requirements

The following environment settings must exist before you attempt to use the Tivoli Storage Manager Web Client GUI.

The Tivoli Storage Manager Web Client is installed and configured.

Use the GUI Setup wizard to install and configure the Web Client for your environment:

Start the Backup-Archive client GUI.
From the Utilities menu, select Setup Wizard.
Check the box next to Help me configure the TSM Web Client.
Click Next and follow the instructions.

Data Protection for IBM Domino is installed and configured.

You must specify the domnode option. For more information about these options, see More configuration options. In order for the web client to be able to access its partitions, specify passwordaccess=generate in the dsm.opt options file that is used by Data Protection for IBM Domino. This dsm.opt file is in the Data Protection for IBM Domino installation directory by default, or as specified by the /adsmoptfile parameter or preferences option. Ensure that you followed the instructions in the configuration section so that your system is ready to back up and restore Domino data.

Starting the Web Client GUI

Make sure that the software and environment requirements are met.
Specify the URL of the client workstation you are running the web client on, in the web browser. Specify the httpport number that is defined on the client workstation. The default value is 1581. For example, http://myhost.mycompany.com:1581. Tivoli Storage Manager logs information such as the httpport number, CAD activity, and errors to the dsmwebcl.log file. By default, this file is in the directory where the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client is installed.
To start the Java™ client GUI, run the dsm command. The Java client GUI is only available for Linux for System z®.
