13.2 Server procedures In this section we show how to start and stop a Tivoli Storage Manager server. Tivoli Storage Manager is essentially a software program that runs as any other application in your system. This means that you can start the server and let it run continuously and uninterrupted for days, weeks, or even longer if desired. 13.2.1 Starting the Tivoli Storage Manager server The Tivoli Storage Manager server can run in either the foreground or the background. When running in the foreground, you can have an active open console, with all system messages displayed (similar to Example 10-6 on page 322). From this server console, you can issue all administrative commands (depending on the authority that is available for the SERVER_CONSOLE administrator ID; see 8.1.2, "Considerations" on page 285). When running in the background, you can close the active window without stopping the server process. This is the recommended way if you are planning to have the Tivoli Storage Manager server automatically started or stopped. In this section we explain how to start a Tivoli Storage Manager server. (We assume that it is not running yet.) Otherwise, you must stop it first and issue the commands we explain. You can have the Tivoli Storage Manager server automatically started, in which case you need to configure it as a background process. If you wish to have it started manually, then the Tivoli Storage Manager server needs to be configured as a foreground process. For further details on how to start the Tivoli Storage Manager server, refer to the Tivoli Storage Manager Quick Start manual, which comes with the product software. Active console mode To start a Tivoli Storage Manager server in the foreground, run dsmserv in the Tivoli Storage Manager system directory. All output messages will be redirected to standard output. If you run the server in the foreground, closing the window automatically halts the server. Example 13-1 shows how to manually start the Tivoli Storage Manager server on AIX in active console mode. This server console session is established using a predefined administrator ID SERVER_CONSOLE. All Tivoli Storage Manager system messages are displayed on the console. The Tivoli Storage Manager server is ready to receive and send data to the client machines. Example 13-1 Startup of server to demonstrate the console root@Atlantic /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin: dsmserv ANR7800I DSMSERV generated at 19:57:13 on Nov 28 2005. Chapter 13. Routine tasks 397
