If that's the problem I think it is, then changing /etc/hostconfig to hardcode a hostname may provide a fix. The hostname is used as part of the encryption key. If the hostname changes, TSM won't just fail to decrypt the password but it will actually delete the TSM.PWD file. Very annoying. This is IMHO a design flaw that needs to be addressed. In the meantime, I suspect that hardcoding the hostname in /etc/hostconfig may provide a workaround.

Hello TSM-ers. TSM Server: 5.3.2 on AIX TSM Client: 5.3.4 on Mac OS X 10.4.6 We are having a problem where TSM scheduled backups fail when a Mac is put to sleep and woken up again. The symptom looks to be the same as in APAR IC48146, the TSM.PWD password file is deleted. However, the fix for that APAR appears to work only if the Mac is shutdown or restarted, not when it is slept. The Mac will start scheduled backups again after you launch the TSM Backup for Administrators program and enter the TSM password when prompted. Has anyone else had this problem? It is driving our PowerBook users nuts because backups won't work after they come back from taking the computer on travel and the computer has been slept because of a closed lid or aggressive Energy Saver settings when running on battery. --Cody Cody Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]
