Steps after upgrade for IBM Spectrum Protect users

If you use IBM Spectrum Protect for your backup strategy, there are certain steps you must complete after you upgrade the appliance.

About this task

You must establish a connection between IAS client nodes and the IBM Spectrum Protect Server.

After the upgrade, you can:

Run the command on IBM Spectrum Protect for each registered IAS client:
```
update node <registered_node_name> sessionsecurity=trans
```
and perform a backup from the appliance's side.

From the head node, as bluadmin, run:

manage_tsm --auth-password

If the connection is established, the output is:

[bluadmin@node0101-fab - Db2wh ~]$ manage_tsm --auth-password
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connection and password establishment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Password for the node has been successfully authenticated and a connection has been established between server and node node0101-fab
Password for the node has been successfully authenticated and a connection has been established between server and node node0102-fab
Password for the node has been successfully authenticated and a connection has been established between server and node node0103-fab

If the connection has not been established, the output is:

[bluadmin@node0101-fab - Db2wh ~]$ manage_tsm --auth-password

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connection and password establishment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connection has not been established between the server and node node0101-fab
Connection has not been established between the server and node node0102-fab
Connection has not been established between the server and node node0103-fab

Note that what the output looks like depends on the number of nodes in the system.

If you see this type of output, reach out to your IBM Spectrum Protect admin. The IBM Spectrum Protect admin has to run this command for each registered IAS client from the IBM Spectrum Protect CLI:

update node <registered_node_name> sessionsecurity=trans

Then, you can run the manage_tsm --auth-password command again and confirm with your IBM Spectrum Protect admin that the connection is established.

Note: If you're using LAN-Free Backup and Restore, perform this steps after establishing a connection between IAS client nodes and the IBM Spectrum Protect Server.

Confirm storage agent services are restarted inside the container by running this command as bluadmin user:
```
manage_tsm --status-dsmsta
```
If the output is:
```
dsmsta.service is not running
```
1. Start the services by running:
```
manage_tsm --start-dsmsta
```
2. Run the command again:
```
manage_tsm --status-dsmsta
```
