Verify server to server communications ?

[vilius.m]

Hello,

TSM 5.5

I have problems when my server makes server to server connection to one of my storage agents, it seems to be wrong password on my server.

Is there any interactive way to verify server -> storage_agent connection ?
My problem happens at the end of lengthy backup so I don't want to repeat that every time.

Thanks,
Vilius M.

Hi,

try something like this from the TSM server:

tsm: TSMSRV>STAGENT: ping server TSMSRV
ANR1699I Resolved STAGENT to 1 server(s) - issuing command PING SERVER TSMSRV  against server(s).
ANR1687I Output for command 'PING SERVER TSMSRV ' issued against server STAGENT follows:
ANR1706I Ping for server 'TSMSRV' was able to establish a connection.
ANR1688I Output for command 'PING SERVER TSMSRV ' issued against server STAGENT completed.
ANR1694I Server STAGENT processed command 'PING SERVER TSMSRV ' and completed successfully.
ANR1697I Command 'PING SERVER TSMSRV ' processed by 1 server(s):  1 successful, 0 with warnings, and 0 with errors.

It sends the "ping server" command to the storage agent (one-way check) which in turn tries to contact the TSM server (reverse direction check).
