Security enhancements in TSM 7.1.8+ and 8.1.2+ may cause authentication errors for databases using TSM

Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

For databases configure to use the IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly known as Tivoli Storage Manager, TSM) backup-archive client for storage and retrieval of database backup images and transaction log files to a TSM server, enhanced security protocols on the TSM server may cause authentication errors on the TSM client.

Content

TSM version 7.1.8 and version 8.1.2 introduce significant enhancements for improved security between client and server communication. When the TSM server is upgraded to Version 7.1.8 (or higher versions) or 8.1.2 (or higher versions) and configured with the improved security enhancements, and the TSM backup-archive client is upgraded to Version 7.1.8 (or higher versions) or Version 8.1.2 (or higher versions), the security settings for the backup-archive client must be re-configured to work with the new security enhancements on the server. Failure to reconfigure the client may result in a TSM authentication error code 927 or other errors.
