Quick Start


Using the Administrative Client Command-Line Interface

The administrative client command-line interface lets administrators control and monitor the server through administrative commands. For more information on using the command-line interface, see ADSM Administrator's Reference.

On AIX, start the command-line interface by entering the dsmadmc command. This section shows AIX examples. For more details and examples of other platforms, see ADSM Administrator's Reference.

Using Interactive Mode

To enter a series of administrative commands, start the administrative client in interactive mode by entering:



dsmadmc

You are then prompted to enter your user ID and password. If you do not want to be prompted for that information, you can enter your user ID and password with the DSMADMC command by using the -ID and -PASSWORD options. For example, enter:



dsmadmc -id=smith -password=secret

To end an administrative client session in interactive mode, use the QUIT command:



 quit
