IC97854: SESSIONINITIATION SETTING DISPLAYED DIFFERENTLY BETWEEN 'QUERY NODE' AND 'SELECT FROM NODES' OUTPUTS.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1 Fix Pack 1 (7.1.1.000) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After upgrade from Tivoli Storage Manger Server version 5  to a
  version 6 or version 7 server, for nodes
  using sessioninit=serveronly setting, "query node f=d" for those
  nodes shows
  
  Session Initiation: ServerOnly
  
  but
  "select node_name,session_initiation from nodes"    (from
  dsmadmc)
  shows session initiation as ClientOrServer
  
  NODE_NAME                 SESSION_INITIATION
  ------------                           -------------------
  NODENAME                   ClientOrServer
  
  Running "update node" command with sessioninit=serveronly makes
  no difference to select output and it remains
  as ClientOrServer.
  
  
  An additional issue seen, is that nodes with passexp set to 0,
  will now show this as NULL after upgrade to 7.1. This can cause
  client backups for affected nodes failing, until passexp is
  reset to 0 with update node command.
  
  Initial Impact:
  Low
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager Server  versions 6.x and 7.1.x
  
  
  Additional Keywords:
  zz61 zz62 zz63 zz71 node sessioninit select
  

Local fix

• If "query node" shows sessioninitiation as serveronly and select
   shows as clientorserver, do:
  
  UPDATE NODE NODENAME SESSIONINITIATION=CLIENTORSERVER
  UPDATE NODE NODENAME SESSIONINITIATION=SERVERONLY
  
  
  For the passexp issue, run:
  update node node_name passexp=0
