Don't forget to set a long password change period.
If you leave it at 30 days, the password will change on the "usual" node, and when you
fail over the password on the failover node will be out of date.

The only client we have is where the server is located. We are running TSM

These tasks can be done with other Tivoli products.

You have at least three options:
1. Brute force attack - make a statement or even block those nodes from
using the server.
2. Install Tivoli Software Distribution product and perform clients upgrade
by yourself (will it be easier? :-)
