Hi gurus !

I'm facing the following problem : we have a client node which IP address has 
been modified yesterday morning, the machine has then been rebooted, and of 
course, TSM client restarted. But this morning TSM showed me the scheduled 
nightly backup for this node as "missed". 
I have a test schedule, that can be started manually, to test a connection 
between TSM and client node. After having been restarting client once again, I 
tried to execute this schedule, and this time obtained "missed".
Ping between client and sever works in both directions, so there is no 
connection issue. Dsmsched log and error files don't show any problem.
After several retries, I decided with our network admin to trace IP exchanges 
between the two machines, and we found that after having been restarting the 
scheduler, systems where using the new node IP address for some transactions, 
but at a certain point, TSM tried to use the OLD ip address of the node ! Thus 
our test schedule fails !
Could anybody tell me if there is any kind of "buffer" in TSM, that needs a 
certain time to be flushed before attributing new ip addresses to nodes, or 
something like this ?
How does exactly works TSM node - server relation when starting a schedule, is 
there any kind of explanation ?
Please help me, I absolutely have no idea of what happens.
The picture : TSM server v 4.1.3 on aix 4.3.3
                   TSM node v 3.1.0.7 on aix 4.3.3 , in a DNZ (firewall ports 
and IP addresses have been verified and are opened)

Thanks in advance !

Arnaud
