Rainer,

You need to make TSM client prompt you for encryption key password on the
next backup after you changed the hostname. The only way to do this is to
rename/remove the existing TSM.PWD file (this is the file where TSM client
stores its passwords). You should rename this file rather than delete it,
in case you have problems and want to revert.

Dear TSmers,

we have tsmserver 5.3.3.2 /solaris and tsm-Client 5.3.4.0 /linux.

On the Client we use tsm-encryption :
The 'nodename' Option is set in the dsm.sys and also the
'encryptkey save' OPtion is set  and  'encryptiontype AES128' is also set.
The inclexc-File contains a line like 'include.encrypt *'
So far anything runs fine :-)

Problem: Next week we have to change the 'hostname' of that linux-server.
The Question now is : - if any - what steps are to be done at the
tsm-Client ?
... and even at the tsm-server ?
The (tsm)nodename won't be changed.
Do I need the TSM-Client in a manual way give once again the
encryption-key password to let the encryption-key be generated ?
Or is there nothing to be done at the Client ?

I have looked throgh the lists and docs and havent't found any
'procedures' for that scenario - just pointers to dependancies on the
system's hostname.

Thanks in advance for any hints , recipe or links ... !
Rainer
