It may be too late for you (unless you REALLY want to revisit the dsm.sys
files again :-) but we use CNAMES in the DNS for our TSM server. So the
dsm.sys refers to adsm.nibco.com and this is a cname to thames.nibco.com --
and, in our D/R process, the cname gets changed to point at
colorado.nibco.com. No need to revist the dsm.sys files on all the systems.

We have a cname for each of the four network interfaces on the TSM server.

The other thing we've done is semi-standardise our dsm.opt. All systems (I
think -- been a while since I looked :-) reference 'adsm-server' in the
dsm.opt. This is the first stanza in the dsm.sys (of the four) but it isn't
always the same server name; some point to adsm; some point to adsm-bu1 (a
gigabit feed); and some point to adsm-pri (a dedicated 100 Mb network).

Just a thought for when you get a bit of free time <g>, and something for
others to think about.

Hi gang,

Found a gotcha and thought y'all would be interested in this.  When we
changed our IP address on our TSM server, we went through and had to change
all the dsm.opt's and dsm.sys's that were going to this particular address
(a chore in itself).  Come to find out that the 3494 tape library was using
the old address also, so we had to make a route on the 3494 tape library to
accept the new IP on the TSM server.  Just an FYI to anyone using a 3494
Tape library. BTW thanks for the responses.

Thank You,

Nope, it shouldn't. We did this when installing a second ethernet card
in
our server. You can even export-import a clients backups onto another
server and continue with the incremental cycle. Generally, it's only
changes on the client that will force fulls.
