Error description
The following message can be seen when running dsmsta setstorageserver with a complex password: SETSTORAGESERVER: Invalid SERVERPASSWORD - <password> For example: dsmsta setstorageserver myname=sta mypassword=sta servername=server123 serverpa=ham@eggs hla=172.16.1.2 lla=1500 myhladdress=172.16.1.5 SETSTORAGESERVER: Invalid SERVERPASSWORD - ham@eggs The Tivoli Storage Manager server password is allowed to have special characters, but the storage agent configuration does not allow for these characters. For example, these characters will encounter the above error with the dsmsta setstorageserver command: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ * = ` | ( ) { } [ ] : ; < > , ? / These characters can be used with DEFINE SERVER and SET SERVERPASSWORD for passwords. The dsmsta setstorageserver command will be corrected to allow for these characters in a password.
