Re: set servername

Not so strange considering how TSM client makes a registrykey like this
(under which the password is stored);
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\BackupClient\Nodes\MYNOD
E\TSMSRV001
where the last is the name of the TSM server (TSM servername). Updating alot
of clients can be done through renaming the registrykey with some utility
delivered in NT resourcekit. (Can't remember the name of it though)  :-(

had to re-initialise all password on all clients (NT at least),

Hi All,

     Can any damage be caused by changing this value?  In other words,
could it make a client unable to restore older versions of files?  I have
situtaion under solaris 2.9, TSM 5.1.5.0, where I can see the inactive
versions in the DB via show version, but the client only shows a really
old version, and active.  I changed the server name on 2/3.  Obviously, I
am grapsing at straws here....but in writing this up, I wonder if
/home/staff/tks/lps moved from /home to / in the mean time....

Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
