I have a linux TSM node called ANL2 that has stopped communicating with the TSM server since Friday December 1st. We have not been able to perform any backups on this server since that time.
The error in the activity log is: 12/05/2006 15:09:53 ANR0406I Session 12863 started for node ANL2 (Linux86) (Tcp/Ip ANL2(59771)). (SESSION: 12863) 12/05/2006 15:09:53 ANR0423W Session 12863 for administrator LH$ ( ) refused - administrator name not registered. (SESSION: 12863) 12/05/2006 15:09:53 ANR0403I Session 12863 ended for node ANL2 (Linux86). (SESSION: 12863) This same error appeared on Friday night when the ANL2 server stopped talking to our TSM server. I also appears each time I kill and restart "dsmcad" on the ANL2 server. I have used the "update node" command to update the password for the client and have used the "update admin" command to update the admin account for ANL2 which is called ANL2. I have also updated the client node using the TSM administration GUI. When I start the Backup-Restore GUI using Internet Explorer on node ANL2, I can start it but when I click on the Backup option (or any option) I get the error "ANS2604S: The web client agent was unable to authenticate with the server". When I look at the processes running on client node ANL2 I see these processes: root 16887 0.0 0.1 39140 2440 ? S 15:37 0:00 dsmcad root 16896 0.2 0.1 21732 3020 ? S 15:38 0:00 /usr/bin/dsmc schedule /tmp/fileo78pFb -optfile=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt The dsm.opt file has not been changed (neither has the dsm.sys file). The output from the query node command for ANL2 is: Node Name Platform Policy Domain Days Since Days Since Locked? Name Last Password Access Set ------------------------- -------- -------------- ---------- ---------- ------- ANL2 Linux86 STANDARD <1 <1 No The output for the query admin command relating to ANL2 is: Administrator Days Since Days Since Locked? Privilege Classes Name Last Access Password Set -------------- ------------ ------------ ---------- ----------------------- ADMIN <1 173 No System ANL2 <1 <1 No Client Owner Can anyone offer some advice on how to fix this problem and get the client node ANL2 talking to the TSM server again.
