Register your workstation with a server
Before you can use IBM Spectrum Protect™, you must set up a node name and password and your node must be registered with the server.
The process of setting up a node name and password is called registration. Two types of registration are available, open and closed.
Your IBM Spectrum Protect server administrator chooses the type of registration for your site.
You must be a root user or authorized user to perform this required task.
If you plan to use the web client, you must have an administrative user ID with system privilege, policy privilege, client access authority, or client owner authority. When a new node is registered, the server administrator must create an administrative user ID that matches the node name. By default, this node has client owner authority.
REGISTER NODE node_name password userid=user_id
where the node name and the administrative user ID must be the same. For example:
REGISTER NODE node_a mypassw0rd userid=node_a
