I can't help you much with the first question, as I am not a Unix guru.
Offhand, I'd say check the time displacement options available to you on Unix
perhaps they are set incorrectly.

As for question 2, I could see a couple of ways to read your question.

one possibility - if all you are doing is changing you DNS Name to the network
to show a difference in your protocol, then ADSM will not care.  To him, your
nodename is what it says in the DSM.OPT (or DSM.SYS file I guess, on a unix
machine?), and as long as this does not change, ADSM doesn't care how you get
there.

The other possibility, though, is that you do change you ADSM Nodename when
you change the DNS name.  Then, if you don't do anything else, you will look
like a new node to ADSM, and you will get a fresh, full backup.  The solution
to this is simple - the administrator should simply do a Node Rename to give
you a new identity, as opposed to defining a new node for you, or letting you
go through open registration again.  The Node Rename will bring all of you old
backups with you, and update your schedule information to, so that all will be
as if nothing had changed.

Hi everyone,

1) When I look at dsmsched.log on my HP Unix systems the time stamp is 3
hours ahead of the actual time.  The system time (when I issue 'date') is
the correct time.  It's as if dsmsched.log is registering EDT instead of
PDT (I'm in California).  Any ideas?


2) Right now our environment is a mixture of Token-Ring and Ethernet.  We
can get to any given platform via either path by using a unique name which
gets resolved in our DNS (e.g 'chico' gets to our Unix platform via
Ethernet and 'chico-tr' gets to the same platform via Token-Ring.  The
hostname is 'chico').  I currently use the nodename of 'chico'. At some
point down the road I may be forced to change to a different nodename to
get to the same hostname.  How does ADSM view this?  What name gets
recorded in the DB record?  If I have to change my nodename will the
previous backups be accessable from the host?  Will the nodename change be
totally transparent?

Thanks for any help.

Happy Holiday,
