Setting options in the client options file

Setting options in the client options file

This section describes how to set options in your client options file (dsm.opt), and how to use options with commands.
To view or modify the options file, click Edit -> Preferences from the Tivoli Storage Manager client GUI. The Preferences editor updates the client options file.
You can also edit an options file with your favorite text editor.
To set an option in your client options file, enter the option name and one or more blank spaces, followed by the option value. For example: 
   compression  yes    nodename     client_a
Some options consist of only the option name, such as verbose and quiet. You can enter the entire option name or its abbreviation. For example, you can specify the verbose option as either of the following: 
    verbose    ve
Follow these additional rules when entering options in your client options file (dsm.opt):
  • Do not enter comments on the same line as an option.
  • Indent options with spaces or tabs.
  • Begin each comment with an asterisk (*) as the first character in a line.
  • Enter each option on a separate line and enter all parameters for an option on the same line.
  • Enter one or more blank spaces between parameters.
  • Use blank lines between options.
  • The maximum number of characters for a file name is 256. The maximum combined length of the file name and path name is 260 characters. The maximum length of a file name is limited to 504 bytes (not characters). Because the Unicode representation of a character may occupy several bytes, the maximum number of characters that a file name may contain can vary.
