Server: AIX v3.7.3.8  Client: v4.1.2.12


The MSCS client is unable to backup his shared disks using the schedule
(he can back them up manually).
It seems that when he starts up the schedule service the nodename and
password are being deleted from the registry. On the NT event log the
error message says to use the dsmcutil utility to update the node as
there's no password. When you check the registry the node and password
are deleted although they were there before attempting to start the
service.
It shows up on the client as both an authorization and a TCPIP problem.
When he first installed the client and the schedule services his client
was experiencing connectivity problems due to a new routing
configuration. As he couldn't install the clients without connectivity
to the server, he decided to use the dsmcutil to create the schedules
and the services. When he experienced the problems that I mentioned, he
did a complete unistall of the schedule, the services, and the client.
He then re-booted and re-installed everything, but the results were the
same.
