ANR0454E - Storage agent unable to connect after serverpassword clear

[sandragon]

IBM had me dump some config settings as part of tracking down another issue. However, since doing so involved clearing the server password, I have lost all ability to talk to my lanfree clients.
I have "set serverpassword" on the server, and I have re-run "dsmsta setstorageserver" to redefine the password in the devconfig.

Server Version: 7.1.1.100
STA client 7.1.1.000

However, all of my servers are still returning the following:

nwtdwdb01:/usr/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin$ ./dsmsta

Contents of the devconfig:
SET STANAME NWTDWDB01-STA
SET STAPASSWORD xxxxxx
SET STAHLADDRESS <client IP>
DEFINE SERVER TSM01 HLADDRESS=<TSMserver> LLADDRESS=1500 SERVERPA=xxxxxx SSL=NO

The TSM Server logs show the following:

ANR0408I Session 552479 started for server NWTDWDB01-STA (AIX) (Tcp/Ip) for
storage agent.
ANR0408I Session 552480 started for server NWTDWDB01-STA (AIX) (Tcp/Ip) for
storage agent.

No further errors.

The command I ran to set the config on the STA side is thus: "dsmsta setstorageserver myname=NWTDWDB01-STA mypassword=xxxx myhladdress=10.0.1.139 servername=tsm01 serverpassword=xxxxx hladdress=<TSMserver> lladdress=1500"

Hello,
on the TSM server, enter the following command:
update server NWTDWDB01-STA serverpa=xxxxx forcesync=yes

I continue to get the same error from the storage agent. The process starts, session rejected, then it drops the dsmsta process all together.

Ended up working with IBM. Both they and I had misconstrued the use of serverpassword= and password= in the definition/update of the storage agent. serverpassword= is the storage agent's PW, as if it were a remote server.
