Thanks Daniel. I can update the URL value with no problem, and it reflects the changes when I run the query. However, even after stopping and restarting the TSM scheduler (whether on Novell or Windows clients), the tcp_address value does not change. Any other ideas? Do I need to reboot the client machine?
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/8/04 11:03:44 AM >>> Hi Kevin The URL is a static value, set by the TSM administrator. TSM doesnt change this value in the case that the IP-adress of the client changes. Only the tcpadress changes on a client change. You can change the URL value by selecting "Updating node", and then "URL". The tcpadress value will change as soon as you restart the TSM scheduler service. It will then update the entry with the new value.

Environment is TSM 5.1.7.0 MVS. select - nodes.node_name as "Node Name",- nodes.tcp_address as "IP Address",- concat(concat(concat(concat(varchar(nodes.client_version),'.'), - concat(varchar(nodes.client_release),'.')), - concat(varchar(nodes.client_level),'.')), - concat(varchar(nodes.client_sublevel),'')) as "Client Ver", - nodes.url as "URL",- from nodes - order by nodes.node_name The nodes.url field returns the values that have been manually entered for that node. (These are the correct IP addresses.) However, in some instances, the value returned from nodes.tcp_address are different. For example: Node Name IP Address Client Ver URL BRIMSERVER2 10.200.80.38 5.2.0.0 http://10.200.19.133:1581 FINSERVER2 10.200.13.4 5.2.0.0 http:10.200.71.100:1581 I believe this problem shows up whenever the client node has had its IP address changed. The IP address is the original address of the server. It has since been given a new IP address, but for some reason this field doesn't change or get updated. It does not appear to affect the backup process, but I'd like to get this corrected. I can't see how to edit this field - any ideas? Thanks in advance! ----- Kevin Kinder 304-558-5914 x1988
