APAR status

Error description

• When Tivoli Storage Manager Client on Unix or Linux prompts for
  the encryption key,
  it will display path of the file in question with a leading
  double slash "//".
  
  For example:
  
  dsmc archive -sub=no  /usr/local/tsm/file_name
  
  
  Archive function invoked.
  
  
  --- User Action is Required ---
  File: //usr/local/tsm/file_name requires an encryption key.
  
  
  Select an appropriate action
    1. Prompt for encrypt key password
    A. Abort this operation
  Action [1,A] : 1
  
  
  Issue is the double slash "//" before leading filsystem name
  instead of a single slash "/".
  File: //usr/local/tsm/file_name requires an encryption key.
  
  This has no negative affect and can be ignored.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Client Versions Affected:  6.3.x, 6.4.x
  and 7.1.x on all Unix and Linux platforms
