Hello Team,
TSM Server v5.5, Windows TSM BA Client 6.3
I'm trying to extract the name of the management class to which my NDMP backup images have been bound. While it seems that Q NASBACKUP happily returns this in TSM v6 it does not in TSM v5. An alternative is to trawl through the BACKUPS table, but for lots of reasons this won't be impractical.
However, I am able successfully to query NDMP backup details from the TSM BA client, but only if I manually enter an administrative username and password each time. I need to try to remove this manual step but I'm struggling to do so.
Here's what I'm trying:
I'm presented with this:
Giving an admin user (CL=SYS) works at this point and presents me with this:
This is great, but I want to be able to run this query without having manually to input a username/password after having entered. I've tried various permutations here, up to giving the admin user ID under which the BA client is running system privs (GRANT AUTH WIN7-TEST CLASS=SYSTEM) but each time I'm prompted - something that won't work in the context of a script.
Any ideas a) on what should work here so that I won't be prompted, or b) how to get the Mgmt Class to which an NDMP backup is bound on a TSM 5.x system without performing a terminal query against the BACKUPS table.
Many Thanks,
