unixtsa.conf(4) — UnixWare 2.01

unixtsa.conf(4) unixtsa.conf(4)

NAME
unixtsa.conf - configuration file for Storage Management
System (SMS) Target Service Agent (TSA)

DESCRIPTION
The tsad(1) program is responsible for notifying a set of
NetWare servers that it (the UnixWare TSA daemon) is running.
Each server notified will be able to back up file systems on
the UnixWare machine. The unixtsa.conf file tells tsad the
names of NetWare servers to contact and which communications
protocol to use for each server. This is a normal ASCII file.

Blank lines in the file are ignored. Any line beginning with
a ``#'' is considered to be a comment and is also ignored.

Each non-blank, non-commentary line in the file must have the
following format:

server_name protocol [TSA_codeset server_codeset [server_locale]]

At least the following two white-space separated fields are
required:

server_name
The name of the NetWare server to contact.

protocol
The protocol to be used contacting this server.
Currently supported protocols are tcp and spx. It is
valid to list the same NetWare server twice with
different protocols; this tells tsad to notify the
indicated servers and listen for backup requests over
both network protocols.

There are also three optional parameters that specify locale
information for each server listed, and a special entry for
unnamed NetWare workstations running the backup engine. If
present, these entries ensure that the UnixWare machine and
the NetWare server or workstation running the SMS backup
engine are using compatible i18N locales and codesets. (See
the files /usr/lib/locale/locale_names and
/usr/lib/iconv/iconv_data for a list of valid locale names and
codesets, respectively.)






      unixtsa.conf(4)                                      unixtsa.conf(4)


            TSA_codeset
                  This is the name  of  the  codeset  used  by  the  local
                  UnixWare  machine (and, hence, tsad).  Must be specified
                  with a server_codeset.

            server_codeset
                  This is the name of  the  codeset  used  by  the  remote
                  NetWare  server named by server_name.  Must be specified
                  with a TSA_codeset.

            server_locale
                  This is the name  of  the  locale  used  by  the  remote
                  NetWare  server  named by server_name.  If server_locale
                  is specified, then both TSA_codeset  and  server_codeset
                  must also be specified.

            For unnamed NetWare workstations (running DOS or  Windows),  a
            special  entry  can be created in the file using a server_name
            of default.  The codesets and locale specified on the  default
            line  will  be used when an unnamed workstation contacts tsad.
            Note that the protocol  specified  on  the  default  entry  is
            ignored,  but must be specified (that is, it can be either tcp
            and spx and will still apply to requests  received  over  both
            protocols).

      EXAMPLE
            A typical unixtsa.conf file might look like this:

                        lora  tcp
                        thneed      tcp
                        thneed      spx
                        onceler     spx

      NOTES
            This same file format may be used to create a Network
            Information Service (NIS) map named unixtsa, which will be
            read in a similar manner by tsad processes running in the same
            NIS domain.  For more information on NIS, see the Network
            Administration book.
