This parameter is used to override the default setting for the password associated with the Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) product. The password is needed to allow you to restore a database that was backed up to TSM from another node.
| Note: | If the tsm_nodename is overridden during a backup done with DB2 (for example, with the BACKUP DATABASE command), the tsm_password may also have to be set. |
The default is that you can only restore a database from TSM on the same node from which you did the backup. It is possible for the tsm_nodename to be overridden during a backup done with DB2.
