Hi again ! First of all, thanks for the fastest answer on the northern hemisphere :) As far as the patch level is concerned, I used the latest TSM-Binaries found on ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/server/v5r2/AIX/LATEST Should I have installed patches ? I could do this next time I'm there... Back to the problem: Unfortunately I have to wait until next week before I can check the DNS issues you mentioned above, but I promise giving updates as soon as I can. If anyone had my problem before, don't hesitate to posting your resolution here ! Thanks in advance ! Sascha Askani
