Version 8.2 Commands Reference
If you want to also show the server availability as well as the system type, use –A with -l. This
will indicate the server availability as either available or down, and will display the system
(
AIX, Solaris
or
Linux
) and machine type (
i386
,
ppc, sparc
) or “unknown” if the server cannot
be contacted. Availability is determined by whether or not the administrator system can
communicate with the server. If not, you can use the stcheck command to help isolate the
problem.
If you want to configure a new server, use the –a option and specify the server name at the
end of the command. All attributes will be set to their default values (or none) unless explicitly
set. After adding a server, list it with the –vl options to display the full list of settings.
NOTE: Be careful to use quotes around any argument to flags which contain multiple words.
Changing a server
If a server currently exists, you can change specific options by specifying only that option and
its new argument. For example, to configure the alternate network, use the following
command:
stserver –an 192.168.1.1 buserver
or
stserver –a –altnet 192.168.1.1 buserver
When changing the configuration, or to remove any default options, you may enter “none” for
options which require an argument.
Removing a server
To remove a currently configured server, specify –r and the server name, such as:
stserver
–r
buserver
Note that you cannot remove a server if it is currently assigned to a backup job. Also, when
removing a server, all devices which may have been configured for that server will also be
deleted.
