Setting up and Starting the Scheduler

The configuration differs depending on which package manager the distribution uses:

RPM Based Systems (Suse, Red Hat, Fedora etc.) and All Other Distributions

Please copy a file required to start the automatic backup (unit file for systemd) from the installation directory to the required location:

sudo cp /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad.service /etc/systemd/system/

Then you can activate the system service that controls automatic backup as follows:

```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
```
sudo systemctl enable dsmcad.service
```
```
sudo systemctl start dsmcad.service
```

If you receive an error message when executing these commands, it usually means that such a system service is already running or at least set up, either with systemd or an earlier init system.

If you still want to switch the TSM service to systemd, please remove the configured system service completely before executing the above commands. If you need assistance with this, please contact the RRZ.

Your TSM client is now fully configured.

The backup will start automatically at the requested or specified time.

After automatic configuration, the password and TSM service are checked and started. You should see output similar to this.

 * tsm configuration is valid and scheduling is enabled
 * enabling the tsm daemon
 * Starting TSM CAD (scheduler and / or web-client) dsmcad
 * dsmcad is started, pid 14358                                  [ OK ]

The configuration is now complete and the backup will start automatically at the requested or specified time.
