Starting the TSM server in Maintenance mode
staring with TSM 7 you can start a TSM intance in maintenance mode which suppresses client session, automatically starting scripts …
Linux
- starting the instance as root –
-q
indicates the quite mode, so without an admin shell/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.dsmserv -u <USER> -i <Instance Home> -q MAINT
- starting the instance as root – the missing of
-q
indicates the console mode, so with an admin shell in the foreground/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.dsmserv -u <USER> -i <Instance Home> MAINT
the more simple way
there's also a quite more simple way to run a server in Maintenance mode:
- i suggest to run it in a
screen
, so first start a screen byscreen -S <Name>
, e.g.screen -S <Instance-Name>
- become instance user:
sudo - <Instance user's account name>
- switch to folder containing the server's config files:
cd <path to config files>
- run directly
dsmserv MAINT
so for instance SM123
it looks like
screen -S "SM123" su - sm123 cd ~/config dsmserv MAINT
Windows
Due to the ISP documentation windows should work in the same way as Linux
- run Windows-Commandline as admin:
- you need to remind the different commandline options, espcially giving the Instance by issuing the registry key
D:\SM180-Config>"c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server\dsmserv.exe" -k sm180 MAINT
BEWARE
Starting the instance without the '-k <Instance Name' seems to work, but right at the beginning some error messages
C:\Windows\system32>d: D:\>cd SM180-Config D:\SM180-Config>"c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server\dsmserv.exe" MAINT The server has not been properly installed. Could not find the output logfile key.
