IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux: Backup-Archive ...

If the current directory is not in your PATH environment variable, enterthe following command:./dsmc scheduleWhen you start the client scheduler, it runs continuously until youclose the window, end the process, or log off your system.To run the schedule command in the background and to keep the clientscheduler running, even if you log off your system, enter the following:nohup dsmc schedule 2> /dev/null &If you are using the CAD to manage the scheduler, you must set the recoveryproperties for the ″TSM Client Acceptor″ service, but leave the settings for the″TSM Client Scheduler″ to take no action for first, second, and subsequent failures.Managing multiple schedule requirements on one machineIn certain situations it is preferable to have more than one scheduled activity foreach client system. Normally, you can do this by associating a node with morethan one schedule definition. This is the standard method of running multipleschedules on one machine. You must ensure that the schedule windows for eachschedule do not overlap. A single client scheduler process is not capable ofexecuting multiple scheduled actions simultaneously, so if there is overlap, thesecond schedule to start will be missed if the first schedule does not completebefore the end of the startup window of the second schedule. Suppose that most ofthe drives on your client system must be backed up daily, and that one drivecontaining critical data must be backed up hourly. In this case, you would need todefine two schedules to handle this requirement. To avoid conflict between thehourly and daily backup schedule, the starttime of each schedule needs to bevaried.In certain cases, it is necessary to run more than one scheduler process on asystem. Multiple processes require a separate options file for each process andmust contain the following information:v Define a unique node name for each processv Specify unique schedule and error logs for each processv When running in prompted mode, you must use the tcpclientport option tospecify a unique port for each process.The advantages of using multiple schedule processes:v You can run more than one scheduled backup at the same time.v You can specify different backup criteria for each schedule started, via TivoliStorage Manager client option file or Tivoli Storage Manager server overrideoptions.The disadvantages of using multiple schedule processes:v A unique file space for each node name on the Tivoli Storage Manager server iscreated.v When restoring the data, you must use the same node name associated with thebackup.||||Multiple schedule processes can run on UNIX and Linux platforms with either theCAD managed method, or the traditional method of running the scheduler. Ineither case, there are certain setup requirements:v Each process must run using a different node name.Appendix A. Using the Tivoli Storage Manager central scheduler 505
