Sounds like you are using passwordaccess=generate; prove this by running "dsmc -pa=<newpw>" where <newpw> is the new password you set from the server.
To correct this, locate the password file (depends on client level) and erase it; then run dsmc with no arguments to "set" the password file using the value you used for <newpw>. See the "Using Clients" book for Unix -- "set password" command (from command line), etc. ---------------- excerpt from latest "Install and User's Guide" ----------- Use the passworddir option in your client system options file dsm.sys to specify the directory location in which to store the encrypted password file. The default directory location depends on how the client was installed. When the passwordaccess option is set to generate and you specify the password option, the password option is ignored.

Since my schedules are MISSED, and when I want to do an incremental or selective backup from one of the three nodes (dsmc i file) , I can't and the output of the command is : Node Name: MICHLEFEN ANS1503E Valid password not available for server 'TSMA'. The administrator for your system must run TSM and enter the password to store it locally. How can I do this, I have already changed the password of each node from the server interface (dsmadmc). All the platforms are AIX 4.3.3. TSM version is 4.1. Thank you in advance ______________________________________________________ Bonte aux lettres - Caramail - http://www.caramail.com
