  The problem is similar to APAR IC99083
  

Local fix

• You can test for this problem prior to the upgrade attempt by
  issuing the following SQL against the server:
  
  select OWNER, NAME, INT32 from EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES where
  NAME='NODE_PASSEXP' and INT32=-1
  
  SELECT OWNER, COUNT(*) from EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES GROUP BY OWNER
  
  If the count is 1 and there is a result showing that it has a
  password set to never expire then the issue is a match for this
  APAR will have the exact same external symptom as IC99083.  If
  however the count is greater than 1 then following the upgrade
  the effected node will have its password expire time set to the
  default password expire time for the system.  This needs to be
  strongly noted.  Upgrading the TSM server to 7.1 or higher may
  changed password policy on nodes outside of administrator
  control.  It is strongly recommended at administrators verify
  password expire settings on all nodes following the upgrade.
  
  If you run into this problem during an upgrade and the server
  will not start due to the errors above then follow the same
  recovery steps as found in IC99083:
  
  The following SQL statement can be used to find a list of node
  names that have this problem:
  db2 => connect to tsmdb1
  db2 => set schema tsmdb1
  db2 => select nodename from nodes left join extended_attributes
  on nodes.nodename = extended_attributes.owner where
  extended_attributes.owner is NULL
  For each of these nodes an entry needs to be created in the
  extended attributes table:
  db2 => insert into extended_attributes (OWNER,NAME,TYPE,INT32)
  values ('NODENAME','NODE_PASSEXP',3,99)
  Where NODENAME is replaced by a node name from the above select
  statement.  This will set a password expiration of 99 days for
  that node.  The UPDATE NODE command can be used to reset the
  password expiration once the server is started successfully.
