Re: dsm.opt file being corrupted/blanked
We did not test replication with this round of clients. I agree only replication would need to touch the OPT files.

Re: dsm.opt file being corrupted/blanked
We ran extensive testing on the 7.1.0 code and never saw this issue. Not saying the 0 base is not your issue but just haven't seen it. We have 7.1.6 out in the wild now and also have not seen this issue.

dsm.opt file being corrupted/blanked
Folks, Wondering if anyone has seen this issue. The first time I saw it a few months back, I ignored it as a one-time issue. But it just happened again so I am digging deeper. This time (don't recall what the OS/client version was for the first incident) it is a Windows 2008 R2 server with BA 7.1.0.0 (yes I know - 0-releases are always problematic). OS tech noticed the backups failing and went to investigate. Trying to start the CLI - it hung. Checked the dsm.opt file and found it blank/empty? It has been backing up for a long, long time with no reason to make any changes to the dsm.opt file. AFAIK, the only thing that should be mucking with the dsm.opt file, aside from manually editing it, is replication. So, is this replication related or a client bug?

Backup db chalenges with 7.1.8
Hi guys, I'm facing a new challenge because of the security enhancement in 7.1.8. In the past I installed 7.1.7 servers on a cluster configuration, which was working without any issues. With 7.1.8 TSM starts checking the GUID of the $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ node used and this changes as soon as the server switches to the other cluster node. This causes the backup to fail: ANR0406I Session 49 started for node $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ (DB2/Linux) (SSL 10.70.11.118(58814)). ANR2987W Session ended because of machine GUID or local host IP address mismatch. ANR3259W Session 49 for node $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ (DB2/Linux) refused - $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ node from an untrusted system is not allowed. ANR0403I Session 49 ended for node $$_TSMDBMGR_$$ (DB2/Linux). I found the circumvention to specify the parameter DBMTRUSTEDGUIDIGNORE YES in the dsmserv.opt, but that looks more like a fix than a solution... How should one solve this issue properly?
