Dear all,

            I configured the tsm client 5.3 on the Aix 5.3 machine,
after I got the error messages as follows

"ANS2610S TCP/IP communications failure between the client and the
server machine"

How can I resolve this problem, Can anyone help me out in this regard.

Start by doing what the message explanation says, as can be seen in
the Messages manual, or 'dsmc help'. Most likely, it was a transient
event. If not, and you have had access before, then determine what
changed in your site configuration to suddenly prevent access. (There
may have been a firewall change.) If persistent, utilize standard
network probing tools (ping, telnet) to assess connectivity between
the TSM client and server systems. Inspect the server Activity Log
for corresponding indications of problems. See if other systems are
likewise having networking problems, or consult with your networking
group, who may well know of an outage...or that your site firewall
rules need revision to allow access.

I would not expect this to be a port mismatch problem, as that
typically yields ANS1017E.
