Re: [ADSM-L] Servermigration and IP-Replacement

Hi,

In windows the ITSM node password is saved in a registry key containing both 
ITSM servername and ITSM nodename. So your ITSM server name should be the same. 
Also setting your clients to polling could help.

Why don't you simple restore your DB this new server?

Regards,

Karel

The client's IP address is saved as part of the node definition (do a q node 
f=d and you'll see it.), so that isn't a problem.

However, test the move on ONE client before you flop the IP addresses. 
All the client data will move fine with an EXPORT, but it used to be that if 
your server platform changed, the client password wouldn't work anymore.

Never got a real explanation of why, something about the way the password gets 
encrypted.  Don't know if it's still an issue, but I ran into it a couple of 
versions ago going from an AIX to a Windows TSM server.
