Hi Have the same problem here, but on a Solaris client. TSM support haven't helped us, but I noticed when we changed the nodename to something shorter it worked... A workaroud is to have password xxxx in dsm.sys
If you find a solution please let me know Regards Niklas -----Original Message----- From: Eric Winters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 25 september 2002 09:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: sessOpen: Error 137 from signon authentication Dear All, I have an AIX node with TSM Backup client at 4.2.1.0 and a TSM server on AIX at 4.2.1.10 I have PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE set in the dsm.sys, and I've set a PASSWORDDIR. The first time I attempt to run a dsmc command as root, I'm naturally asked to provide password details. This works fine and my command runs successfully. A TSM.PWD file is created as expected. But when I run my next dsmc command I have to provide the password all over again. And the dsmerror.log shows the following message.... sessOpen: Error 137 from signon authentication The baffling thing is that I have this working just fine on another node at the same level of client s/w talking to the same server. Any ideas? Thanks people, Regards, Eric Winters Sydney Australia
