server Migration to v6.2, dont want to be prompt for password on TSM Client

[petitehada]

Hi,

We are migrating our TSM clients from a server v5.5 to a server v6.2 (2 different physical servers). Where have exported the nodes definition from the 5.5 instance and imported those definitions to the v6.2 server instance.
We have about 400 nodes and we want to avoid going on each client and type again the password.
Do you have any idea to avoid having the password prompted again ?

Note : we already have the option : password generate

Thanks,

The stored TSM password on the client is associated with the TSM instance name as defined in the dsm.opt - since you're using the export/import route your TSM instance name is changing, therefore there is no stored password...

Seems with found the solution :
Ensure the servername are the same on the v5.5 and the v6.2 servers
+
Guid are the same on both servers

To change GUID : On Windows, open the Registry Editor (regedit) and look for the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tivoli\GUID key

We will confirm it with IBM support tomorrow.

Let us know if you are able to alter the GUID for the server instance - interesting

From my own experience you might get problems with backing up the db2 database.
ANR2987W Session ended because of machine GUID or local host IP address mismatch
see:

So it is a god thing that you contacted IBM before you made the update, but you can chnage the guid back again

Very interesting.
We didn't ran in that issue because we have drop and reinstalled the instance after changing the GUID.
After reading your post, we did a DB backup and it was succesfull.

Thanks for your help !

Why the drop in speed?

Maybe 1 hour left to go (This is only a test upgrade top prepare for the real upgrade).

Nearly done. Will test your workaround. Thank you!
