However,

if

the

storage

agent

inaccurately

identifies

a

LAN-free

destination

and

the

server

is

unable

to

process

the

request,

the

operation

has

advanced

past

the

point

where

LAN

failover

will

occur

and

the

storage

agent

request

will

be

unsuccessful.

If

this

occurs,

halt

and

restart

the

storage

agent

and

then

retry

the

operation.

Adding

Communication

Information

for

the

Storage

Agent

The

DSMSTA

SETSTORAGESERVER

utility

initializes

the

storage

agent

and

adds

communication

information

to

the

device

configuration

file

and

the

dsmsta.opt

file.

Use

this

utility

on

the

client

system

where

the

storage

agent

has

been

installed.

See

“Install

and

Configure

the

Storage

Agent”

on

page

21

for

more

information

on

when

to

use

this

command.

This

utility

does

not

remove

any

previous

entries

in

the

files.

It

appends

information

to

the

existing

files.

The

option

DEVCONFIG,

which

sets

a

name

for

the

device

configuration

file,

must

be

in

the

dsmsta.opt

file

for

the

command

to

work.

See

“Examples”

on

page

45

for

details

on

the

command

adds.
