Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Guide
You may occasionally need to modify the node name and password for
client nodes. For client nodes running Windows NT, the updates must be
made in the Windows NT registry in addition to updating the database.
Because the TSM scheduler runs as an NT service, the Windows NT registry must
be updated any time the node name and password are updated on the
server.
TSM provides the DSMCUTIL utility to make updates to the Windows NT
registry.
To change the node and password:
- Click Start Menu > Program Files> Command
Prompt. The Command Prompt dialog appears.
- Change to the directory in which the DSMCUTIL utility resides. For
example:
c:
cd c:\"program files"\tivoli\tsm\baclient
- Type a command (on a single line) to install the scheduler and place the
node name and password in the Windows NT registry and identify the options
file. For example,
dsmcutil install /name:"TSM Scheduler" /autostart:yes /node:client
/password:client /optfile:c:\"program files"\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsm.opt
Notes:
- The client node name and password in the command string are the
installation defaults: client.
- Note that you must use quotes if the name includes a space. If the
DSMCUTIL utility fails to complete successfully, ensure that the server is
running and that the node is properly registered.
- You should substitute the node name of a registered client, application
client, or host server node, and the password that will be stored in the NT
registry. The node name is the name that the administrator associates
with a schedule. After the node name and password have been stored in
the registry, the TSM Scheduler runs as a protected account under its own
authority.
