A sys admin here is moving a Linux virtual machine (vm) to a
different VMWare ESX server at another data center.  The virtual
machine will have a new ip number and hardware address.  It will have
a different domain name, but the same host name.  That is,
wsa350.uits.indiana.edu will become wsa350.uits.iupui.edu. The vm is
registered with a TSM node name of wsa350.  We prefer not to change
that.  Session Initiation is set to 'ClientOrServer'.

The sys admin wants to keep the existing backups of the vm.

Is this a non-issue?  Will starting the client scheduler after the
move be enough to reestablish the TCP/IP Name, TCIP/IP Address and
Globally Unique ID for the node?   Is any other action needed to keep
the old backups useable by the node?

With my thanks,
