Re: TDP for Informix password register fail

Mario,

The first stanza in our dsm.sys files are for the regular OS, we'll call
this node, mario.  The second stanza is for a database instance named
informix, for example mario_informix, see dsm.sys file below.  Create a
/usr/bin/informix.opt and link to it
/opt/tivoli/tsm/clien/api/bin/informix.opt.  In your informix.opt file, make
sure the servername is mariosbackupservera, so it will point to the correct
nodename in dsm.sys.  Then set your env variable temporarily to
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/informix.opt, and try setting your password.

Geoff,

The DSMI_CONFIG environment variable is already set. Actually the following
env vars are set:

DSMI_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.opt
DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin
DSMI_INF_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/informix/bin
DSMI_LOG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/informix/bin

As for this new stanza, they are susally created for new TSM Servers under
SERVERNAME, what do you mean by this new stanza ? Could you explain it
further  or simply tell me how should I do it ?

Thanks.

Mario Behring

Mario,

What we do here is:

Create a new stanza in the dsm.sys and name it nodename_instance. Create an
instance.opt file in /usr/bin and a link in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin
to this file, set your informix user's environment variable
DSMI_CONFIG=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/instance.opt, then try setting
your password.

Bill,

Thank you. By the time I got this message I had alareddy figured it out for
myself, but then there is another error:

G40:root:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/informix/bin> tdpipswd
***************************************************************
* TDP for Informix Backup *
* Password file initialization program *
*>> this must be run by the ROOT user if updating the value <<*
***************************************************************
Enter your current password:
Enter your new password:
*** Server signon failed: ANS1353E (RC53) Session rejected: Unknown or
incorrect ID entered

The TDP for Informix Installation Guide also says that I have to register
the TDP at the TSM Server but it must have a different name from the
BAClient. Do you know how can I register the TDP from the AIX (to register
the BAC is not a problem).

Thanks.

You need to add to the server stanza in the DSM.SYS

PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE

The default is PROMPT and the Informix agent wants GENERATE.

Hi list,

I am trying to register the root password from an AIX 4.3.3 server where I
have just installed TDP for Informix 4.1 using the tdpipswd program. The
process is failing eith the following error message:

*** Signon failed: dsm.sys option PasswordAccess = generate required.

Any ideas ?

The TSM server hostname and IP address are already informed at the dsm.opt
and dsm.sys files.

Thanks in advance.
