Richard, The rc 50 could be caused by numerous scenarios (TCPPort change, flakey cables, faulty hardware). You could run a "Tracert IP/HOSTNAME_TSM_SERVER" to see where there could be data loss/connectivity issue between the client and TSM server.
As far as listing the specific TCP address, you could do nslookup for the TSM server or simply do "q opt" on the TSM server itself and check for IP address right above Server TCP/IP port number.

We have a server that has been getting the following sporadic dsmerror.log errors: 12/19/09 14:07:02 ANS9020E Could not establish a session with a TSM server or client agent. The TSM return code is -50. 12/19/09 14:07:02 ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure 12/19/09 14:13:00 ANS9020E Could not establish a session with a TSM server or client agent. The TSM return code is -50. 12/19/09 14:13:00 ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure Normally, backups work just fine. We just get this in spurts. I'm thinking it's a DNS resolution problem in the ip lookup for dsm.sys:"tcpserveraddress tsm4.fenetwork.com". q) Is there some way to get the BA client to list the IP address it's trying to use?
