Error description
The Spectrum Protect Storage Agent will be unable to use SSL secure connection despite it is configured to use it. The session established from Storage Agent to Library Manager will hang during SSL initiation, while the session established from Storage Agent to Library Client uses SSL as expected. This causes the Spectrum Protect B/A Client to use a TCPIP session and backup/archive and restore/retrieve processes will complete but not using lanfree. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: The problem is caused by the current design limitation of Storage Agent that gets the library manager server definition from its server instead of using the proper SSL options set for library manager Server definition. IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected: All supported versions on all supported platforms Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TSM "spectrum protect" SSL ignore skip "storage agent"
Local fix
Add ssl=yes key to the dsmsta.opt file
