ANS2050E Password Issues in a Windows Clustered Enivronment

2007-09-25 Thread Timothy Hughes

Hello All,

We are still having an issue with retaining a password after TSM 
resources are moved for one node
to another in a Windows MCS environment. When the Client does 
maintenance on every other
Thursday they move TSM resources from Sogician1 to Sogician2. The 
backups fail due to the password

expiring.

What I have been having to do is to reset the password (From TSM)

Then use the following commands on both nodes while they own the resources

1) Dsmc q se –optfile=q:\tsm\dsm.opt

2. Tivoli Storage Manager prompts the nodename for the client (the 
specified in dsm.opt). If it is correct, press Enter.


3. Tivoli Storage Manager next asks for a password. We typed the 
password and press Enter.


4.) We repeat the command for the other node cluster resource H disk
(dsmc q se -optfileH:\tsm\dsm.opt)

According to the ITSM in a clustered envirnoment redbook Chpt 6,
The steps above require that we run the following commands on both nodes 
while they own the resources.
It is recommended we move all resources to one of the nodes, complete 
the tasks for this node,

and then move all resources to the other node and repeat the tasks.

Once the above procedure is performed the resources are brought online 
with no problem and backups
work successfully. Is there a way to *PERMANTLY *have the password set 
so they won’t expire and the
above procedure does not have to be performed every time the resources 
are moved from one server to another?


Also, Password Generate is in the DSM.opt files for the resources. Below 
Is the error messages the are in the dsmerror.log


ANS1029E Communication with the TSM server is lost.
TSM needs to prompt for the password but cannot prompt because the 
process is running in the background.

ANS1262E Password is not updated. Either an invalid current password was 
supplied

or the new password does not fulfill the server password requirements.

Any suggestions and help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

TSM 5.3.4

AIX 5.3

Windows Tivoli Client 5.3.0

Client servers are Windows 2003 SP1


Note: The TSM in a Clustered Environment Redbook The password is kept 
in the
Windows registry of this node and from we should NOT need to type it 
anymore.

According to the Redbook the client reads the password from the registry
every time it opens a session with TSM.
