Hi gurus !

I'm facing the following problem : we have a client node which IP address
has been modified yesterday morning, the machine has then been rebooted, and
of course, TSM client restarted. But this morning TSM showed me the
scheduled nightly backup for this node as "missed".
I have a test schedule, that can be started manually, to test a connection
between TSM and client node. After having been restarting client once again,
I tried to execute this schedule, and this time obtained "missed".
Ping between client and sever works in both directions, so there is no
connection issue. Dsmsched log and error files don't show any problem.
After several retries, I decided with our network admin to trace IP
exchanges between the two machines, and we found that after having been
restarting the scheduler, systems where using the new node IP address for
some transactions, but at a certain point, TSM tried to use the OLD ip
address of the node ! Thus our test schedule fails !
Could anybody tell me if there is any kind of "buffer" in TSM, that needs a
certain time to be flushed before attributing new ip addresses to nodes, or
something like this ?
How does exactly works TSM node - server relation when starting a schedule,
is there any kind of explanation ?
Please help me, I absolutely have no idea of what happens.
The picture : TSM server v 4.1.3 on aix 4.3.3
                   TSM node v 3.1.0.7 on aix 4.3.3 , in a DNZ (firewall
ports and IP addresses have been verified and are opened)

Thanks in advance !

Arnaud
