How to find the password for dsmc

[rstockton]

We have a situation on or qa server where had to do a rebuild and we need to log into dsmc, but we don't know the id and password.  Is there anyway to find this information?

[Michel de Kraker]

start db2
connect to < cmod instance >
select * from arsnode
this will give you information of the user which is able to login with dsmc to the tsm server

Thanks Michel.

I got the IDs and passwords for the nodes, but I have not used dsmc before and when I enter the dsmc command I get the following.


Node Name: QA-xxxxxxxx
Please enter your user id <QA-xxxxxxxx>:        ( note: xxxxxx replacing our server ID)   

I am not sure what is happening here, it has the server name as the Node Name and it appears to be requesting the user ID for node QA-xxxxxxxx and I do not know what this is.

Thanks,

Russell

Russell,

Are you able to login to your tsm with an admin account? Probably the node needs to have the password reset or something like that. What happens if you enter the node name ?

Does dsmc have to be run as root?

[Michel de Kraker]

every user can run dsmc
