Hi,

- Reset the password for this virtual node on the ITSM server; 
- Log in on the active cluster controler;
- dsmc q sched -optfile=<location of the opt file of the
virtualnode>\virtualnode's optfile
- give enter for node > password just set in step 1
Also check your password synch option in the cluster administrator

This should work. 

Note: if you log into your virtual machine, the password actions will
not work correctly.

Regards,

Karel

Subject: Strange issue with a Windows server

I Can't find anything with google, so I thought I'd hit the brain trust
here before calling it in to IBM.

We have a Windows 2000 cluster that's been working just fine for over
three years -- and then the TSM service quit responding to my server
(AIX, TSM 5.1.6.3).

To my knowledge, there has been no change on either the Windos cluster
or the TSM server -- but here's the problem report form the W2K admin:

"Looking at the server this morning, it removes the password for ADSM
from the registry when the service is started. I can perform an "update"
which places it back in the registry, but it gets removed again once the
service is started."

And, from the dsmerror.log:

08/01/2005 07:32:37 Trying port number 56582

Suggestions? Or do I give IBM a call?
