Please correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that if a Windows node does NOT have a NODENAME statement in it's dsm.opt, it simply asks the OS for the hostname and uses that. This value is also used for the filespace names.
So, if this Windows node has been backing up without a NODENAME statement and then the hostname is changed, shouldn't this also change the nodename so when the node attempts to connect to the TSM server it will use the new hostname? Or does the scheduling process use the registry keys, not caring about the hostname changed? What is the sequence of checking for nodename statements, vs just using the hostname and/or registry key? This issue is causing waaayyy to much activity and inquires for a Monday!
