HP-UX, all Linux clients, and Solaris/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/pluginsDSM_CONFIGSpecifies the fully-qualified path and file name of the client user optionsfile for users who create their own personalized options file. The rootdirectory is not a valid value for DSM_CONFIG. Specify a directory otherthan the root directory. If DSM_CONFIG is not set, or the -optfile option isnot used, the client user options file is expected to satisfy theserequirements:1. The options file must be named dsm.opt.2. For UNIX clients other than Mac OS X, if DSM_DIR is not set, then thefile must reside in the default installation directory. If DSM_DIR is set,then the file must reside in the directory specified by DSM_DIR.3. For Mac OS X, the file can reside in any of the following locations.These directories are searched in order, and the first option file foundwill be used. ~/Library Preferences/Tivoli Storage Manager,/Library Preferences/Tivoli Storage Manager, or/Library/Application Support/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin.Refer to the installation section for your operating system to find thedefault installation directory information.DSM_LOGPoints to the directory where you want the dsmerror.log, dsmwebcl.log,and dsmsched.log files to reside. You cannot specify the root (/) directoryfor DSM_LOG. The error log file contains information about any errorsthat occur during processing. The client creates the error log to help theTivoli Storage Manager technical support team diagnose severe errors.Refer to the installation section for your operating system to find thedefault installation directory information.Important: Set the DSM_LOG environment variable to name a directorywhere read-write permissions allow the required write access for the userto create and write to the log file. This will prevent log write failures andprocess termination. Use the chmod or setacl commands to give the filespermissions that allow all expected client user IDs to read and write them.If the log names are the default names, just set the DSM_LOG environmentvariable to point to the directory where they reside. When Tivoli StorageManager cannot write to the log file, an error message is written tostderror and to the syslog daemon. The syslog daemon must be runningand configured to process messages with a priority of LOG_ERR for theerror message to appear in the system log. Starting and configuring thesyslog daemon is system specific. See ″man syslogd″ for information onstarting the syslog daemon, and ″man syslog.conf″ for information onconfiguring the syslog daemon.Note:1. The errorlogname and schedlogname options override DSM_LOG.2. The log files cannot be symbolic links. Tivoli Storage Manager willdetect any such links, delete the links, then exit the operation. Thisprevents Tivoli Storage Manager from overwriting protected data. Theaffected logs will be created as files in a subsequent operation.To set the Java GUI JAVA_BIN_DIR path to find modules, add the java binarydirectory your PATH variable, where JAVA_BIN_DIR is the path to the ″java″executable:50 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive Clients Version 6.1: Installation and User’s Guide
