I see. I just found the option and set it live via "setopt backupinitiationroot off". That fixed the problem live, and from your comment I checked the dsmserv.opt and it now has a "BACKUPINITIATIONROOT OFF" in it, so TSM stuck it in.
Thanks!

Only root can do this operation Gesendet von: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Just upgrade a TSM server from 6.3.5 to 7.1.5 on AIX. This morning our Oracle DBA's are reporting this error: ANS1708E Backup operation failed. Only a root user can do this operation< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> And on the TSM server we see: ANR1890W Backup operation for session 8549 node xxxx failed due to root-only restriction< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> The Oracle DBA's run Oracle backups to disk, then call dsmc to push the backup to TSM. They do this AS THE ORACLE USER, not root. I found a IBM doc that said to set the node parm "Users allowed to back < http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> up" from root to ALL. I checked, and all the nodes that had this problem _ARE_ set to ALL. doc: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108 Any thougts are welcome! cat z.ksh for i in <http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> <list of nodes> do<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> ./run_cmd.ksh -l tsm1 "q node $i f=d" | grep -i "Users allowed to back up"<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> done<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> ./z.ksh<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> Users allowed to back up: All< http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651108> ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
