UNLOCK NODE (Unlock a client node)

Use this command to allow a locked client node to access the server again. You can also unlock multiple nodes that use the same method of authentication.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the client node is assigned.

Parameters

node_name (Required)

Specifies the name of the client node to unlock. You can use wildcard characters to specify the node name. You do not have to enter a node name if you want to unlock all of the nodes according to their method of authentication. Use the wildcard with an authentication method to unlock groups of nodes. The parameter is required. There is no default wildcard character available.

AUTHentication

Specifies the node password authentication method. This parameter is optional.

LOcal: Specifies that you want to unlock nodes that authenticate passwords with the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager server.
LDap: Specifies that you want to unlock nodes that authenticate passwords with an LDAP directory server.

Example: Unlock a node

The client node SMITH is locked out of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. Allow SMITH to access the server.

unlock node smith

Example: Unlock all nodes that authenticate with the Tivoli Storage Manager server

The nodes that are not authenticating passwords with LDAP directory servers must be unlocked.
