AIX System Backup Node Password

PREDATAR Control23

toxy, there are two dsm.opt files on the server, and niether mention AIX-SERVER-BACKUP or IFS-Server....:

oracle@ifs-server:/rdbms/product/oracle>cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64
oracle@ifs-server:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64>cat dsm.opt
Servername TDP-ORACLE-BACKUP
DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL
oracle@ifs-server:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64>
that's the first, this is the second.....


oracle@ifs-server:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin>cat dsm.opt
SErvername TDP-ORACLE-BACKUP
DOMAIN "ALL-LOCAL"
DOMAIN "/u01"
DOMAIN "/u02"
DOMAIN "/u03"
DOMAIN "/u06"
oracle@ifs-server:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin>

If I am reading your dsm.sys file correctly, it seems that you have defined the two nodes properly.

Now what does dsm.opt say under /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64 (/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin if you are at 32 bit)? Entry should be:

SErvername TDP-ORACLE-BACKUP

Under the same directory, what does tdpo.opt say? It should say something like:

DSMI_ORC_CONFIG /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/dsm.opt
DSMI_LOG /usr/tivoli/tsm/logs
TDPO_NODE IFS-SERVER-ORACLE8

Now at /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin: what is the entry at dsm.opt? It should be:

SErvername AIX-SERVER-BACKUP

also the file: dsm.tdp.opt must have the entry:

SErvername TDP-ORACLE-BACKUP

If you have these entries, try:

1. dsmc (without any switches) and you should get the BA environment
2. dsmc -se=TDP-ORACLE-BACKUP and you should see the Oracle backup environment

from what i can tell, that is your problem.

Your oracle instance should start with the opt file in the bin64 directory.

Your AIX instance should start with the opt file in the ba/bin directory.

your dsm.opt file should contain this:

SErvername AIX-SERVER-BACKUP

when you then try to start the dsmc command line, it will now log as your AIX box...

summary:
1. dsm.opt file (AIX Backup)
oracle@ifs-server:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
oracle@ifs-server:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin>cat dsm.opt

SErvername AIX-SERVER-BACKUP
DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL


2. dsm.opt file (TDP Backup)
oracle@ifs-server:/rdbms/product/oracle>cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64
oracle@ifs-server:/rdbms/product/oracle>cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64>cat dsm.opt

SErvername TDP-ORACLE-BACKUP
DOMAIN "ALL-LOCAL"
DOMAIN "/u01"
DOMAIN "/u02"
DOMAIN "/u03"
DOMAIN "/u06"


now it should work :) (i hope so ^^)
