Switching to adsm-2.cc.uic.edu

The ACCC now has a second server running ADSM, adsm-2.cc.uic.edu. All new individuals registering for ADSM accounts will be assigned to this server and we will be moving existing accounts over as well. You will recieve an email message from datasave@uic.edu when it is time for you to switch; this page has instructions on how to change your Tivioli Backup software client to use your new account on adsm-2.

Want to Switch Yourself?

If you are already using ADSM, you can also switch any time you want to, by yourself. All you have to do is register your netid with the ADSM-2 server, then follow the instructions in this page.

1. Click the link below to register your computer with the adsm-2.cc.uic.edu server.
2. You will be asked to Bluestem authenticate yourself by entering your UIC netid and ACCC password.
3. You will be asked to choose a new ADSM password. This password is unique to ADSM and is not related to your other passwords.
4. Follow all of the registration instructions, then close the new browser window and continue following the instructions below.

Click here to re-register your computer with ADSM-2.

First, make sure you have the newest version of the TSM client for your operating system installed:

• ADSM TSM Network Backup for Windows: Installation
• ADSM TSM Backup for Apple Macintosh: Getting Started

Then there are four things you must do to change your installation to ADSM-2:

• change your Server Address to adsm-2.cc.uic.edu
• change your Server Port to 1502
• restart either your computer (if you are using the TSM Scheduler on Windows) or restart the TSM Client Acceptor Daemon (on Macs and if you are using the Client Acceptor Daemon)
• make a new initial manual backup
  
  
• Note: the "1" in your ADSM node name -- for example, adabyron.adsm1 -- does not mean you are using the original ADSM server. You will have the same ADSM node name on the ADSM-2 server, "1" and all.
