Upgrading, modifying, reinstalling, or uninstalling the Tivoli
Storage Manager Windows client
The Windows Backup-Archive Client can be upgraded, modified, reinstalled, or
uninstalled.
If you have previously installed the client and you want to reinstall it into a
different directory, uninstall the older client files before you install the new client
files.
Wait for any in-process Backup-Archive Client tasks to complete before you
uninstall or modify the backup-archive Windows client.
Stop any running services before reinstalling or modifying the client. Use the
Windows control panel or service manager commands to display the services that
are running. Stop the services shown in Table 8 using either the control panel or a
command prompt window.

To remove any of these services without uninstalling the client, use the Help me
configure options in Utilities > Setup wizard in the GUI (dsm.exe). You can also
use the setup wizard to remove configuration information for online image
support and open file support.
The following files are not overwritten if you upgrade or reinstall a client by
installing it into the same directory used by the previous installation:
v dsm.opt
v dsmerror.log
v dsmsched.log
v dsmwebcl.log
The configuration settings from the previous version, are in the dsm.opt file, and
are preserved for use with the new client software.
During a reinstallation, you are prompted to see if you want the installer to
overwrite existing exe, ini, mst, dll, xml, and .properties files. Select Yestoallto
overwrite these existing files to ensure that you have the current libraries and
initialization files.
