Get node IP address from server

[ran]

Hello experts,



my problem is such:



I need to know the ip address of a node name. sure it appears in the nodes table, but when other node will connect as my node name (-machine) it will change the tcpname and tcpaddress to the other node.



somehow tsm still knows the address, although it seems there is no way to find it. when I run a scheduler, then connect from another node (and change the address that way), still the TSM knows how to connect to this client to start a schedule.



does anyone know how to get it (maybe an undocumented command?)



Thanks...



Ran.

Without getting into too much detail

Simply "q node f=d"



If you are having IP address issues, I would look for any unknown aliases within your network layer (DNS), etc...

As I mentioned, if it was that simple, it would not be posted here...



the address in the "q node" output can change if a node performs a restore on behalf of another node with the windows GUI or the -machine option.



anyway, what I have done is to use the address from the summary table. that way I get the address of the host performing the backup.



the scheduler, by the way, writes the address in the database, but could only be queried with the TSM undocumented show commands.
