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.
