Question
How do I re-cache the node password on a Tivoli Storage Manager client?
Answer
Re-caching the Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client node is necessary when a password expires or if the password file becomes corrupted.
To re-cache the password, log onto the client and delete the file /etc/adsm/TSM.PWD.
To change the password, do the following:
1. Log on to the server and run the console command:
- update admin <node name> <new password>
For example:
- TSM:SERVER1>
update admin cs-spubox2_nps netezza
ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: UPDATE ADMIN cs-spubox2_nps ?***?
ANR2071I Administrator CS-SPUBOX2_NPS updated.
- /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc query session
This will prompt you for the login and password information. The login account defaults to the node name.
For example:
- [root@cs-spubox2 ~]# /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc query session
