Version 8.2 Commands Reference
If you want to also show the client availability as well as the system type, use –A with -l. This
will indicate the client availability as either available or down, and will display the system
(
AIX, Solaris
or
Linux
) and machine type (
i386
,
ppc, sparc
) or “unknown” if the client cannot
be contacted. If no client name is provided, all clients are listed, indicating whether or not the
client is currently available. Availability is determined by whether or not the Network Edition
Administrator can communicate with the client. If not, you can use the stcheck command to
help isolate the problem.
TSM Clients
If this client is configured as a TSM client (i.e. this is a TSM node to be backed up to a TSM
server), use the “-Ty” flag to turn on TSM support. You must then use the
command to configure the TSM client options.
Changing a client
If a client is currently defined, you can change specific options by specifying only that option
and its new argument. For example, to disable encryption for a client, use the following
command:
stclient -aEn mickey
or
stserver -a --disable-encryption mickey
Removing a client
To remove a currently configured client, specify –r and the client name, such as:
stclient
–r
mickey
Note that if the client is currently assigned to a backup job, you may use the –f flag to have the
client removed from all backup jobs it is currently assigned to. When using the –f flag, if the
client you are removing is the only client assigned to the job then the job will be removed. If
you do not use the –f flag, then you will need to edit the job settings to remove the client, or
remove the backup job, before removing the client.
