Error description

  • Due to a change with the 7.1.4.0 API, if the 7.1.4.0 client
    and/or API is installed on the same system as an IBM Spectrum
    Protect server, the server password utility dsmsutil.exe will
    fail to run.  The following error may be reported:
    The procedure entry point dsmUtilrunningWinNTMode could not be
    located in the dynamic link library TSMUTIL164.dll.
    The problem is tied to the dsmsutil.exe utility and
    compatibility with 7.1.4.0 tsmutil164.dll.
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    6.3.x & 7.1.x Tivoli Storage Manager/Spectrum Protect server on
    Windows platforms and 7.1.4.0 or higher client/api version
    Initial Impact: Low
    Additional Keywords: TSM dsmcutil.exe updatepw
    

Local fix

  • Use dsmcutil.exe to generate the server password.  For example,
    instead of running:
    "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\server\dsmsutil.exe" UPDATEPW
    /NODE:$$_TSMDBMGR_$$ /PASSWORD:TSMDBMGR /VALIDATE:NO
    /OPTFILE:"d:\tsmserver1\tsmdbmgr.opt"
    Run:
    "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmcutil.exe" UPDATEPW
    /NODE:$$_TSMDBMGR_$$ /PASSWORD:TSMDBMGR /VALIDATE:NO
    /OPTFILE:"d:\tsmserver1\tsmdbmgr.opt"
