Notes:
- You must specify at least one optional parameter on this command.
Parameters
- node_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the client node to be updated. You can use
wildcard characters to specify this name.
- password
- Specifies the new password for the client node. This parameter is
optional. The maximum length of the password is 64 characters.
Passwords remain current for a period determined by the password expiration
period.
- FORCEPwreset
- Specifies whether to force a client to change or reset the
password. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
- No
- Specifies that the password expiration period is set by the SET PASSEXP
command. The administrator does not force a client to change or reset
the password while attempting to logon to the server.
Note: | This value is valid only when you specify a password.
|
- Yes
- Specifies that the client node or administrator's password will expire
at the next logon. The client must change or reset the password at that
time.
- PASSExp
- Specifies the number of days the password remains valid. You can
set the password expiration period from 0 to 9999 days. A value of 0
means that the password never expires. This parameter is
optional. If you do not specify this parameter, the password expiration
period is unchanged.
- CLOptset
- Specifies the name of the option set to be used by the client. This
parameter is optional.
- CONtact
- Specifies a text string of information identifying the client node.
This parameter is optional. The maximum length of the text string is
255 characters. Enclose the contact information in quotation marks if
it contains any blanks. To remove previously defined contact
information, specify a null string ("").
- DOmain
- Specifies the name of the policy domain to which the client node is
registered. This parameter is optional.
- COMPression
- Specifies whether the client node compresses its files before sending them
to the server for backup and archive. This parameter is
optional. Possible values are:
- Client
- Specifies that the client determines whether files will be
compressed.
- Yes
- Specifies that the client node compresses its files before sending them to
the server for backup and archive.
- No
- Specifies that the client node does not compress its files before sending
them to the server for backup and archive.
- ARCHDELete
- Specifies whether the client node can delete its own archived files from
the server. This parameter is optional. Possible values
are:
- Yes
- Specifies that the client node can delete its own archive files from the
server.
- No
- Specifies that the client node cannot delete its own archive files from
the server.
- BACKDELete
- Specifies whether the client node can delete its own backup files from the
server. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
- No
- Specifies that the client node cannot delete its own backup files from the
server.
- Yes
- Specifies that the client node can delete its own backup files from the
server.
- WHEREDOmain
- Specifies the name of the policy domain to be used as a filter in
combination with the node name to select nodes to update. This
parameter is optional.
- WHEREPLatform
- Specifies the name of the client platform to be used as a filter in
combination with the node name to select nodes to update. This
parameter is optional.
- KEEPMP
- Specifies whether the client node keeps the mount point for the entire
session. The parameter is optional. Possible values are:
- No
- Specifies that the client node release the mount point during the
session. If policy definitions cause data to be stored to a disk
storage pool after storing data to a sequential access storage pool, any mount
points held by the session will be released.
- Yes
- Specifies that the client node must retain the mount point during the
entire session. If policy definitions cause data to be stored to a disk
storage pool after storing data to a sequential access storage pool, any mount
points held by the session will not be released.
- MAXNUMMP
- Specifies the maximum number of mount points a node is allowed to use on
the server. You can specify an integer from 0 -- 999. A
value of 0 specifies that a node cannot acquire any mount point for a backup
or archive operation. However, the server will still allow the node a
mount point for a restore or retrieve operation.
Examples
Task
Update node LARRY so that the data on node LARRY will be compressed when it
is backed up or archived by TSM and so that the client cannot delete archived
files.
