ANU2534E Option file error.

Solution: Change permissions on two of the configuration files:

chmod 644 /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt
chmod 644 /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys

ANS1217E (RC409) Server name not found in System Options File.

The following error typically occurs during a redirected restore, which is often needed during duplication of Oracle databases:

ANS1217E (RC409)  Server name not found in System Options File

The above indicates that the attribute "TCPServeraddress" found in the file /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys must be changed so that it identical to the source server.

ANS1087E (RC106) Access to the specified file or directory is denied.

This error could occur when you run the command tdpoconf shownev as a non-root user:

ANS1087E (RC106)  Access to the specified file or directory is denied

The above error is resolved by setting correct permissions on the /var/adm/log folder:

su -
cd /var/adm/
chmod 755 log
cd log
chmod 777 tdpoerror.log dsmerror.log

ANS1035S (RC406) Options file '*' could not be found, or it cannot be read.

This error is also triggered when you access tdpo as a non-root user, for example, by executing

tdpoconf showenv

as a non-root user:

ANS1035S (RC406)  Options file '*' could not be found, or it cannot be read.

To solve the problem, grant the right permissions on the files:

su -
chmod 644 /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.opt
chmod 644 /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys

ANS1025E (RC137) Session rejected Authentication failure.

The above error may occur when you are attempting to set a new password as a part of reconfiguring the server for a redirected restore:

ANS1025E (RC137) Session rejected: Authentication failure

When you run

tdpoconf passwd

you are prompted for password three times:

current password
new password
confirm new password

At this point during the configuration, the tsm server pointed to in the attribute "TCPServeraddress" in the configuration file /usr/Tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys, believes that it is communicating to the original backupclient. Therefore, it is important that you supply the original backupclient's password at all three prompts.

ANS0282E (RC168) Password file is not available.

When the above error message occurs, you simply need to execute

tdpoconf passwd

to reset the password. Supply the original backup client's password at all three prompts.
