Configuring IBM Spectrum Protect client for LAN-based backups for 1.0.17 and lower

To configure IBM Spectrum Protect client for LAN-based backups, you must run some manage_tsm commands and change the node passwords for IBM Spectrum Protect client.

1. Run one of the following manage_tsm commands:
   • If you use default values for the configuration of IBM Spectrum Protect client, run the following command:

     manage_tsm --servername name --serveraddress address --configure-api

     Note: If the configuration files exist, you must reconfigure IBM Spectrum Protect client by running the following command:

     manage_tsm --servername name --serveraddress address --reconfigure-api

     Example default configuration:

     [bluadmin@node0101-fab - Db2wh ~]$ cat /head/tsm/api/node0101-fab/dsm.sys 
     servername tsm_name
     tcpserveraddress tsm_address
     commmethod tcpip
     passwordaccess generate
     tcpport 1500
     ssl yes
     passworddir /head/tsm/api/node0101-fab/cred_store

   • If you do not use default values for the configuration of IBM Spectrum Protect client, run the following command:

     manage_tsm --serveraddress address --servername name --commmethod method --tcpport port number --passwordaccess access method --ssl yes or no --configure-api

     In the following example, the configuration is done on all nodes simultaneously.

     [bluadmin@node0101 - fab - dashDB /]$ manage_tsm --serveraddress tsm_address--servername tsm_name --commmethod tcpip --tcpport 1600 --passwordaccess generate --ssl yes --configure-api

2. Request the original node password or node passwords for IBM Spectrum Protect client from IBM Spectrum Protect server.
3. Change these node password or passwords for IBM Spectrum Protect client by running the manage_tsm --password-change command.
   The following example shows the password change on a three-node system:
