That is my whole point of my question/this discussion. So far the only thing to do is what I already thought of (1-disable sessions, 2-cancel session, 3-try to lock the node in-between retries...) but that in itself is problematic since the node will "keep banging on the door" for a while trying to re-establish the failed connection before it gives up...
Also, disabling sessions will effect every node on that TSM server, including legitimate backups that run throughout the day that don't effect network traffic since they are on their own private subnet....
