Hi,
tsm stores version and tsm client password info in initSID.bki in addition to TSM.PWD.
If you use "password_access=generate" it requires to update the
password for the nodename in charge as well and this needs to be done in TSM.PWD (!).
TSM.PWD needs to get root:dba and 660 permission to make backint able to update the password
in TSM.PWD when "password_access=generate" is configured.
I think it is better to configure a seperate node in dsm.sys to do the DB backups and
configure a special TSM.PWD in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/TSM.PWD.
This way users of group dba are not able to steal away a TSM.PWD for i.e. the rootfs backup.
Tipp does not apply if you are on AIX with "password_access=prompt".
Hope this helps
