Folks

I have 2 TSM servers and a couple of days ago remote db backups started to
fail
the error message is below:

I noted that serverpassword expiry is the default 90 and serverpassword
was set 96 days ago.
With password generate I was of the opinion that this looked after itself.


Does anyone have an idea how I can get them back into sync and remote db
backups /config refresh etc
working again
