Use TYPE=TSMto specify the Tivoli Storage Manager password for your workstation. UseTYPE=FILER to specify that this password is for snapshot difference operationson a file server. The default is TSM.For TYPE=FILER you must specify the file server name, the user ID, and thepassword. For example: dsmc set password -type=filer myfiler fileridfilerpasswd.If you are using the dsmc command in batch mode, and your passwordcontains any special characters (for example, pa$sword), you must enclose thepassword in single quotation marks to avoid truncation (for example, pa).Note: When you specify TYPE=FILER, the password is stored in the TSM.PWDfile or the Windows registry without validating that the password is valid.Passwords that are stored with the TYPE=FILER parameter can be sharedbetween Tivoli Storage Manager nodes. For example, a password stored byNODEA can be used by NODEB. Only one set of credentials is stored per fileserver.You can also use TYPE=VCB to set the password. Here are some examples:dsmc SET PASSWORD -type=VCB VChost VCuserid VCpassword, dsmc SETPASSWORD -type=VCB vchost.us.example.com Administrator secret.Use the Preferences editor to set the vmchost, vmcuser, and vmcpw options.You can also use the set password command to save the vmcuser and vmcpwoptions and then set the vmchost option, for example: set password -type=VCBvmchost vmcuser vmcpw.When using the set password TYPE=VCB option, make sure that the valuespecified for vmchost is the same as the value that is used on the set passwordcommand.
