Trouble resetting a password on a node

[ears]

Hi,

I am trying to reset the password on a node (there are three schedules registered on one server), i have gone on to the tsm server and entered:
UPDATE NODE <NODENAME> NEWPASS

Then on the node i have entered:
dsmc query sess

But dont get prompted for a user and password - I just get the following

TSM Server Connection Information
Server Name.............: Bob-TSM01_SERVER1
Server Type.............: Windows
Archive Retain Protect..: "No"
Server Version..........: Ver. 5, Rel. 5, Lev. 2.0
Last Access Date........: 09-11-2010 19:08:22
Delete Backup Files.....: "No"
Delete Archive Files....: "Yes"
Node Name...............: Bob1
User Name...............:

Could someone please tell me what i need to do to change the password for this particular node?
Many thanks

dsmc set password (on the client)

is the password update successful?

do one thing, change passwordaccess generate to prompt in dsm.opt/dsm.sys and update the password.
now dsmc and give the new password(will update the pasword reg and file) and change back passwordaccess to generate.

The password change wasnt successful

I tried dsmc set password, but it doesnt update the password of the node that i need to update.

I have 3 nodes on my client - how can I update the password for node3?
many thanks

What is the error while updating?

password update is not possible when client node is accessing the server..........cancel all sessions of client in backup server before updating

update node node3 password

dsmc query sess

Server Name.............: Bob-TSM01_SERVER1

Did you check the actlog what kind of message you are getting. I have multiple node on the same server and I have no problem. Normally I typed following command

I do on TSM Server not on client

update node nodename1 Password
update node nodename2 password

Try also following command

update admin nodename1 password
update admin nodename2 password

Thanks

"update admin nodename newpassword" on tsm command line with administrator privilege is the right command
