The first time we saw this it unveiled a very nasty problem.  One of our
administrators had "cloned" a system using the image of another machine,
and didn't update the dsm.opt NODENAME.

So the result was that two unrelated nodes were both connecting in and
backing up their data to the same TSM node.  This node got two backups
per night; if we had done any sort of restore in this situation, we
might well have accidentally restored the backup data from one server
onto another, and gotten all kinds of weird problems.  I don't know how
we would have ever gotten it sorted out, either, since TSM had no way on
knowing which files were from which original server.

Hello everyone,

Is this normal behavior when a server has 2 IP addresses to switch
attributes?  Or does this cause a delay?  And if this is an issue, is
there a way to resolve this so that it doesn't occur?

This is for a client:

                  Node Name: FJSU112
                      Platform: SUN SOLARIS
               Client OS Level: 5.8
                Client Version: Version 5, Release 2, Level 2.0
            Policy Domain Name: ORACLE


05/02/07 15:43:16     ANR0406I Session 1933841 started for node FJSU112
(SUN
                       SOLARIS) (Tcp/Ip fjsu112.highmark.com(43649)).
(SESSION:
                       1933841)
05/02/07 15:43:16     ANR1639I Attributes changed for node FJSU112: TCP
Address
                       from 157.154.44.136 to 157.154.44.200. (SESSION:
1933841)
05/02/07 15:43:18     ANR0403I Session 1933841 ended for node FJSU112
(SUN

                       SOLARIS). (SESSION: 1933841)

Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.  Thanks!
