Reconfiguring a database instance for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backups

After the Tivoli Storage Manager server connection information is changed, any existing databases instance must be manually reconfigured by a DB2® administrator.

Procedure

  1. Update the Tivoli® Storage Manager server address and the Tivoli Storage Manager server port in the following file:

    /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys

  2. If the Tivoli Storage Manager server port is not TCP 1500, open the firewall port by running the following command:
    /0config/nodepkgs/common/scripts/firewall.sh open tcpout -dport port
  3. Connect to the Tivoli Storage Manager server from the Tivoli Storage Manager administrative command line, by using administrator access. Run the following command:
    register node node_name node_password domain=domain_name archdelete=no backdelete=no
    Where:
    node_name
    The value that is shown in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys
    node_password
    The Tivoli Storage Manager password for the new node.
    domain_name
    Select a domain that is set up correctly on the server side of Tivoli Storage Manager by using the define domain db2domain command.
  4. Restart the DB2 instance instance_name.
  5. Update the database configuration with the Tivoli Storage Manager server changes by running the following command:
    db2 update db cfg for database name using TSM_PASSWORD node password
