When you upgrade
PowerHA (formerly HACMP) don’t forget to check/update your TSM client as well!
We successfully upgraded from
PowerHA 5.4 to PowerHA 6.1 SP6 first.
#
halevel -s
6.1.0
SP6
We found that our
DB2 backups to TSM were no longer working.
$ db2adutl query
Error: Initialize environment failed with TSM return code 4602
In the TSM error log file we also
saw the following message repeated over and over:
# tail -1 dsmerror_db2_ha.log
10/17/11 12:42:57 ANS1478E CLUSTERNODE is set to YES
but the cluster software is not available on this system.
Obviously cluster services were most
certainly installed and running! So we suspected the TSM client was in need of
an update or two! This was no surprise to us.
The current installed TSM client
version was 5.5.2.

We also
discovered that we needed to comment out the following entries in the TSM
client dsm.sys file (note the MAILPROG variable appeared twice in our
dsm.sys file):
*MAILPROG /usr/bin/mailx root
*CLUSTERNODE YES
The latest TSM
client no longer supports the MAILPROG
option, as we discovered when we ran the TSM client from the command line:
# dsmc q sess
ANS1677W
The MAILPROG option is ignored because it is no longer supported.

The CLUSTERNODE option was previously
required when using TSM in a PowerHA (HACMP) environment. But not anymore:
Question
Do tsm client 6.1 and 6.2 support PowerHA cluster system?
Answer
TSM client supports all versions of PowerHA. In the past,
TSM client used to publish information in the client books about the HACMP
versions that it supported. The reason for this was, at
that time TSM client was invoking the HACMP API in order to support it. From TSM version 6.1, TSM client does not use the HACMP
API. As long as TSM client is configured with HACMP as documented in the
client books and the HACMP documentation, TSM will be able to support any
version of PowerHA (formerly known as HACMP).
