Start the d.ecs storage manager as follows:

decssm.exe [option] <configfile>

You can pass one of the following start options to the d.ecs storage manager:

/SA: Starts the storage process only

/SR: Starts the restore process only

/SAR: Starts the storage and restore process

If none of these parameters is passed, then the d.ecs storage manager starts without activating the storage or restore process. In this case, it is then possible to activate the storage/retrieval process via the Web interface. If the secondary storage- and/or the restore process is started via the web interface, this only applies until the next start of the d.ecs storage manager.

Other internal d.ecs storage manager processes are automatically started independent from the passed start parameters.

The configuration files are saved in the sub-directory configs in the program directory of the d.ecs storage manager and can be passed to the d.ecs storage manager. A configuration always consists of a configuration file (INI file) and one or more module configuration file (CFG file). The name of a module configuration file is equivalent to the name of the module used (e.g. netapp.cfg, centera.cfg, tsm.cfg, ...). The configuration file (INI) to be used must be passed when calling the d.ecs storage manager.

If the d.ecs storage manager is started via the d.3 process manager, then you must create a new process there entering the command line described above under Target, e.g.:

c:\decs\decsstoragemanager\decssm.exe /SAR c:\decs\decsstoragemanager\configs\d3FU.ini

Furthermore, the Working path in the d.3 process manager must be set to the d.ecs storage manager directory (e.g. c:\decs\decsstoragemanager).
