TSM Web Client: bad IP

[SOLVED]TSM Web Client: bad IP

Hello,

i'm training on TSM 6.1.2, i would like to start a backup of my client (server and client are the same computer, it's a training ). So i connect to the Web GUI with http://ip:1581, no problem i'm connected, but when i started a backup job i've got the following error:

ANS2619S the client acceptor was unable to start the remote agent...

I take a look in the dsmwebcl.log and i see:

30.10.2009 15:34:49 (dsmcad) ANS3006I Processing request for the TSM Web Client (192.168.0.93).

Problem, this isn't the right IP used. I can't understand where it find this IP. The /etc/hosts is correct, DNS isn't configured, so i wonder where it defined that my node will have this IP in .93 instead of .182 !!

PS: just for information, there isn't a specific Client Acceptor package to install, is it? The CA is contained in the TSMClient.rpm i supposed.

I have this same message when i don't start the access to the datacenter. Look your access to proxy.......for example

hummmm i don't understand, when you said to start the access to the datacenter.

I'm trying to backuping the server himself, i used the server's HDD to store the files, so i haven't any proxy or datacenter.

What you call the datacenter, this is the AdminCenter ? How can i test my connection to?

TY

 

[Samuel]

the access to datacenter is the reason for me but for you it's possible to have many reason.
what do oyu have in the error log ?

OK
there isn't many thing in the logs:

dsmerror.log:

30.10.2009 17:17:43 Error opening input file /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/FR_FR/dscjres.txt
30.10.2009 17:17:44 Error starting Remote Client Agent.
30.10.2009 17:17:44 return code is -1

I don't find the French RPM for TSM6

dsmwebcl.log:

30.10.2009 17:17:41 (dsmcad) ANS3006I Processing request for the TSM Web Client (192.168.0.93).

As you see, it's quiet difficult to understand what happend in the little TSM brain... i still wonder how it choose that my node will have this IP and not one in the hosts file.

For information, this is my dsm.sys file:

SErvername  TSM6
   COMMMethod         TCPip
   TCPPort            1500
   TCPServeraddress   192.168.0.182

What is your node's IP address?

 

[nicnictout]

My ip is 192.168.0.182

 

[moon-buddy]

That is not what I see - you posted that the Server's IP is 192.168.0.182. I am asking about the Node's IP address.

Edit: OK I see that the Client and Server are one and the same.

On the dsm.opt file: add the line:

TCPClientAddress 192.168.0.182

Is this a Windows machine? If it is, make sure that CAD and Acceptor services are defined

Great !!!!

THX a lot Moon, my OS is a linux so i have to change the commande line and put it in the dsm.sys file instead, but it works with your tips

I give you 10 points :up:


FYI on Linux:
tcpclienta 192.168.0.182
