Under the old licensing a TSM server was permitted to back itself up
without an extra license as long as it used the shared memory protocol.
This would also be true under the new licensing, since you just count
processors across the board.

Hmm I can't answer for sure whether a server counts as a client if you
back
it up to itself. I assume so..
But installing the ba client on the server to use the dsmadmc program and
actually backing up the server to itself (so to speak) are two different
things. You don't use a client license simply because you installed the
product at the OS level. You use a client license when you define a node
in
TSM and actually back up regularly to it.

Does that mean I need another license for a client in order to install
dsmadmc on the server?
Thanks

Yes you need dsmadmc
The only other thing you could do is halt the server and restart it using
dsmserv and leave it running in interactive mode to serve as your console.
But I wouldn't recommend it. Shouldn't be any real reason not to install
dsmadmc on the server.

Subject: TSM Server Console
Hi all,
I installed TSM server at one machine and a backup-archive client at
another
mahine. And they are working fine. But one problem I have is: I closed the
server console window after I started the server. And now I cannot re-open
it (I know I can open the console at the client machine by using "dsmadmc
-console"), but currently we do not install the backup-archive client at
the
server machine. Is there any other way to re-open the server console at
the
server machine? or dsmadmc is the only way to open the server console at
the
server machine? If so, does this mean I have to install a client at the
server machine?
thanks
Fred Zhang
