Make sure global has the authority to backup and restore the databases.
It needs to be sysadm, sysctrl or sysmaint.

As DB2 uses the API client, you need to configure only one opt file as
long as you want to use only one TSM server.
However you have to set the TSM related DB2 parameters in each database
configuration. (db2 get db cfg for <database>)

For DB2 setup, please see the DB2 Administration Guide, for db2adutl, the
Command Reference.
