Error description
If a Tivoli Storage Manager Client defined only on Tivoli Storage Manager Source server is replicated to a Target server by REPLICATE NODE process and the Client node is using a password which has "=" character, the replication process will fail with the following error logged to Activity Log: ANR2020E REGISTER NODE: Invalid parameter - <password string before "="> The problem will occur whether this password is specified manually or generated by the client enabled "PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE" option. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: A server trace collected on Source server with REPL traceflags on, will show a message like this 15:11:09.195 [44][smrepl.c][3283][smReplQueryNode]:ReplQueryNodeResp received for node NODENAME: nodeId XXX, state: Enabled, mode: Receive, rc: 9992 15:11:09.195 [44][smrepl.c][3293][smReplQueryNode]:Exiting, rc 9992 15:11:09.195 [44][nrmain.c][4368][DoNodeHandshake]:Error 9992 getting information on node XXX from server TARGET 15:11:09.196 [44][nrmain.c][2057][NrFreeSession]:Entering, ctlP 00000000285C1C60, sessP 0000000037DDA090, cacheIt No 15:11:09.196 [44][nrmain.c][2069][NrFreeSession]:Closing out session 149227 to server TARGET Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager Server V6.3 Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TSM PASSWORD ANR2020E EQUAL CHAR NODE REPLICATE
Local fix
Run the "update node" command to update a new simple password and let client remember it or update node with FORCEPwreset=y to let client create a new random password which has no "=" character.
