It looks you have lost saved password. Try to start dsmc or GUI on node without modifying dsm.opt and provide password ones. Maybe it will help to resolve your problem.

ANS2050E TSM needs to prompt for the password but cannot prompt because the process is running in the background. ANS1025E Session rejected: Authentication failure I find answer in TSM "Message", and say "You may use RUNASSERVICE option with PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT. Turn off RUNASSERVICE to be able to get prompted" So should I modify "passwordaccess generate" to "passwordaccess runasservice" ? But why it was ok before this fix ??? Any idea? Many thanks!
