TSM V6 Client Gui error "TCP/IP invalid host name - suddenly

[tsmhelum]

Hello all,

I installed the TSM V6.1.0.2 on a Windows client recently and it seemed to go fine. I have been able to bring up the client GUI fine.



Today when I try to bring up the Client Gui I get the following


"TCP/IP invalid host name"

When I click ok It asks the following
Do you wish to continue for purpospes of local backupset


Anyone know why this would happen so suddenly after it was working for about a week?

Also, I see Ans9020e and Ans1029e in the error log.

Thanks in advance!

Are you using DNS to resolve TSM Server IP addres?

Hi Ed,

Iam not sure what you have mentioned. However , When prompt comes, It asks me yes / no. When i clicked Yes, Then it is taking me to the GUI . When i go to setup wizard after all giving the server address and port and at the end it says TCP/IP Invalid host name .

Again, how are you entering the TSM server address? TCP/IP or fully qualified name?

If you have a segregated network, with different sub-nets. Try using the IP instead of the FQDN
almost sounds like a network routing problem.
