Guillaume Take a look at the 5.3 Windows Installation Guide (winservinstall.pdf). Chapter 3, after Installing Tivoli Storage Manager Server, there is a section called Installing Multiple Tivoli Storage Manager Servers on a Single machine. The documentation is not that detailed, but if you wanted to see confirmation from IBM that it is possible, that's where it is. You simply use the wizard to add other instances.
These instances are denoted in the registry and by default are called "Server1", "Server2" etc. The instance specific files (dsmserv.opt, volhist, devconfig, etc) are stored in a sub-directory denoted by default as c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\Server1\ etc. You can choose the name of the directories at conception in the wizard. I have a Multi-Instance W2K3 server running with library sharing and it works fine. With the ability to address >4GB RAM and 64-bit OS, W2K3 is becoming a more viable option for larger multi-instance TSM operations.

Is it possible to create a second instance of TSM on a Windows 2003 server?

This way a "ps -ef | grep dsm" shows the symlink name. In the config dir are scripts to start/stop the instance. Here is the start script for our instance "TSM1". The actual tsm log and db are on raw volumes. The dsmserv.opt and instance is setup to put volhist, dev config, accnt log, etc, etc in the same directory. fe-bkup3:/tsmdata/tsm1/config==>cat rc.start_tsm1.ksh #!/bin/ksh # Set the language.... # export LANG=en_US # # Max out size of data area # ulimit -d unlimited # # Allow the server to pack shared memory segments # export EXTSHM=ON # setup to run tsmlm2 cd /tsmdata/tsm1/config export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin export DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin export DSMSERV_CONFIG=/tsmdata/tsm1/config/dsmserv.opt export DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR=/tsmdata/tsm1/config # # Start the server in quiet mode. # print "$(date '+%D %T') Starting Tivoli Storage Manager Server" nohup dsmserv_tsm1 quiet & fe-bkup3:/tsmdata/tsm1/config==>cat kill_tsm1.ksh #!/bin/ksh kill $(cat /tsmdata/tsm1/config/adsmserv.lock | awk '{print $4}') fe-bkup3:/tsmdata/tsm1/config==>cat kill9_tsm1.ksh #!/bin/ksh kill -9 $(cat /tsmdata/tsm1/config/adsmserv.lock | awk '{print $4}') "Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1" <iban.bernaldodeq To [EMAIL PROTECTED]> [email protected] Sent by: "ADSM: cc Dist Stor Manager" Subject <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Second TSM Instance .EDU> 11/28/2006 06:03 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> Hi all, I am planning to create a second instance in my TSM on Solaris 9. I have read on the quick reference guide, that I have to export the following environment variables: DSMSERV_DIR DSMSERV_CONFIG To the new path of my second instance. The change will affect to my first TSM instance...¿? What does these environment variables do ¿?
