For the Oracle TDP on AIX you have to set the passwordaccess option to prompt, as the TDP will NOT update the password. The best option here is to set the password expiration to 0 on both the node, and the admin owner (if you have it) of the node.
However, what Daniel said is correct unless you run "update node server-oracle passexp=0" AND "update admin server-oracle passexp=0", then it will just keep on using the same password.

You'll have to set a new password for the node, and then use tdpoconf to update the stored password on the client machine.

We are running TSM for DB v5.5.1.0 with TSM api 6.2.2.0 on AIX 5.3 to a TSM server at 6.2.2.0 also on AIX 5.3. We are running with password generate. Last night we got two ANR0425W password has expired messages for node DBFINTEST. I assume I got two messages because the rman command is using two channels, thus two concurrent TSM sessions. At that point the password should have been set to something new and life should go on. Instead, subsequent sessions for that node got the "ANS0282E Password file is not available.", ie password is incorrect, message. Any thoughts on what might be going wrong? David Ehresman
