The
Storage
Agent
Options
File
The
options
file
for
the
storage
agent
is
named
dsmsta.opt.
The
dsmsta.opt
file
for
the
storage
agent
contains
the
name
of
the
server
with
which
the
storage
agent
communicates,
along
with
other
options.
The
dsmsta.opt
file
is
located
where
the
storage
agent
program
was
installed.
The
default
path
is:
/usr/tivoli/tsm/
StorageAgent/bin.
Normally,
you
do
not
need
to
make
any
changes
to
the
options
file
unless
your
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
server
changes.
Detailed
information
about
these
options
is
available
in
the
Administrator’s
Reference.
For
detailed
information
on
the
commethod
and
lanfreecommethod

Required
Options
This
section
describes
the
required
options.
Note:
Allowed
abbreviations
for
the
options
are
shown
in
uppercase
letters.
DEVCONFig
file_name
The
name
of
the
device
configuration
file
for
the
storage
agent.
A
typical
name
for
the
file
is
devconfig.
SERVERName
server_name
The
name
of
the
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
server
with
which
the
storage
agent
communicates.
The
DSMSTA
SETSTORAGESERVER
command
inserts
this
option.
TCPPort
number
Specifies
the
port
number
on
which
the
server
TCP/IP
communication
driver
is
to
wait
for
requests
for
client
sessions.
Using
different
port
numbers
for
the
options
TCPPORT
and
TCPADMINPORT
enables
you
to
create
one
set
of
firewall
rules
for
client
sessions
and
another
set
for
other
session
types
(administrative
sessions,
server-to-server
sessions,
SNMP
subagent
sessions,
storage
agent
sessions,
library
client
sessions,
managed
server
sessions,
and
event
server
sessions).
If
the
two
port
numbers
are
different,
separate
threads
will
be
used
to
service
client
sessions
and
the
other
session
types.
If
you
allow
the
two
options
to
use
the
same
port
number
(by
default
or
by
explicitly
setting
them
to
the
same
port
number),
a
single
server
thread
will
be
used
to
service
all
session
requests.
Additional
Options
The
following
options
are
also
available,
but
not
required:
ADMINONClientport
yes|no
Specifies
whether
or
not
the
TCPPORT
can
be
used
by
administrative
sessions.
You
can
specify
one
of
the
following
values:

YES
