IT28727: ALL LEGACY CONFIG WIZARD SHOWS WRONG TCPPORT IN A SAMPLE CONFIG FILE WHICH LEAD TO ANS1017E

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Operations on the data mover on will end with:
  ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure
  
  because they are using an admin port instead of the appropriate
  TCPport value.
  
  Platforms affected: Linux x86
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  

Local fix

• Got to affected dsm.sys on the data mover and change the TCPport
  option to the correct value.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Data Protection for VMware VEGUI versions 8.1.0, 8.1.2,      *
  * 8.1.4, 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 running on Microsoft Windows x64 and  *
  * Linux x86 platforms.                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When using the Data Protection for VMware VEGUI              *
  * configuration wizard, the sample opt files generated have    *
  * the incorrect TCPPort value.   Instead of using the client / *
  * server port it uses the administrative port number.   If the *
  * ports happen to be the same (e.g. both 1500), then this      *
  * problem is not seen.   If they are different and the sample  *
  * opt file is used, then this problem will be seen.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Apply fixing level when available.  This problem is          *
  * currently projected to be fixed in level 8.1.8.  Note that   *
  * this information is subject to change at the discretion of   *
  * IBM.                                                         *

Problem conclusion

• Code changes were made to assign the correct port to the TCPPort
  option when generating the sample option files in the
  configuration wizard.
  

Temporary fix

• To fix this manually:
  Find the correct port number by logging into the Spectrum
  Protect server and query the TCPPort value.  Once the value is
  known, update the dsm.sys (e.g.
  /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.<prefix_nodename>.sys) for the
  failing data mover.  Once the option file is updated, you must
  restart any running dsmcad services or active dsmc processes.
