IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

LOCK NODE (Lock out a client node)

Use this command to prevent a client node from accessing the server. A locked client node cannot perform any IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager operations, even if the operations are scheduled.

After configuring an LDAP directory server for password authentication, you can lock nodes to force them to use passwords that authenticate with an LDAP server.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the client node belongs.

LOcal: Specifies to lock nodes that authenticate with the Tivoli Storage Manager server.

LDap: Specifies to lock nodes that authenticate with an LDAP directory server.
