Logging On to Multiple TSM Client Applications
Logging On to Multiple TSM Client
Applications
TSM client applications, such as the TSM Low-Level Link Application and the TSM
Service Application, allow you to log on to only one system at a time. However, you
can start multiple instances of each client application. Starting multiple instances of an
application allows you to log on to multiple systems at the same time from one system
console. This capability is useful when you want to manage more than one node in a
ServerNet cluster.
Before you can log on to multiple systems, the systems must be added to the system
list for the TSM application you want to use. And the systems must be connected to the
same LAN. Both the dedicated TSM LAN and the public LAN support the connection of
multiple systems.
Use the following procedure to log on to multiple TSM client applications:
1. Log on to the TSM client application, as described in one of the following
procedures:
•
Logging On to the TSM Low-Level Link Application on page F-1
•
Logging On to the TSM Service Application on page F-2
2. Repeat Step 1 until you have started a TSM client application for each of the nodes
you want to manage. Figure F-3 on page F-4 shows three instances of the TSM
Service Application logged on to three different systems from the same system
console.
Caution. Running too many applications concurrently on one system console can degrade
performance or cause the console to freeze. The number of software applications that your
console can support depends on the amount of memory installed in the console.
