Hi Robert, 
looks like you are using two TDP VMware  GUIs. For the same vCenter I 
would expect that this is only one GUI and that this single GUI instance 
is working with all your data mover nodes. 
Here is an overview of the node setup: 
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8TDQ_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.ve.doc/c_ve_overview_tsmnode.html?lang=en
For one vCenter the TDP VMware client can only work with one VMCLI node on 
TSM. 

When you initially set the password of that VMCLI node on one system 
(proxy1), the vmcli executable is connecting to TSM, authenticating and 
generating a new password. 
If you now connect from an other system (proxy2) using the same VMCLI node 
to TSM, it will fail. Resetting the password and connecting to TSM will 
result in a new password, which is different from the one on the previous 
system (proxy1). 

In your case it looks to me as if you should run the GUI on the first 
system (proxy1) and use the second system for the data mover, only. 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

Hi to all

Again another question about TSM for VE 7.1.1.0. Two datamover nodes 
vmproxy1 , vmproxy2.

Backups , restores works fine ?

But strange can only reach the TSM VE gui only one by one meaning after a 
success login to the first one as: 
https://vmproxy1_address:9081/TsmVMwareUI/

Trying to reach the second one as:   
https://vmproy2_address:9081/TsmVMwareUI/  got this error:

GVM0025I Successfully determined which product or products installed.
GVM0021I A connecton with the vCenter server has been established.
GVM0022E The VMCLI inquire configuration command failed, the following 
messages describe the error.
ANS0282E (RC168) Pasword file is not available. NODE=VMCLI, Asnode=(null)

>From the Edit Configuration gui done a Reset VMCLI node and it?s work but 
then the first TSM VE datamover gui (vmproxy1) give me now this error. Do 
the previous step and now this datamover gui is working but neutralize the 
second , and vice versa ?.

Did it a possibility to run both of them without every time the need of 
Resetting the VMCLI node ?

Best Regards

Robert Ouzen
