The error message is somewhat misleading. The problem is your node have
been upgraded to unicode-enabled platform. There *is* a way to fix this
which is undocumented and have to be made under guidance of IBM/Tivoli
support. Open a PMR and they will help you on that. No backups will be
lost!

Subject: Incorrect platform
Hi!
On a system running TSM server 4.2.1 on W2K a customer has accessed a node
from a WinNT console, thereby changing the platform from Netware to WinNT.
All attempts to run dsmc results in;
2003-02-05 10:08:50 ANR0428W Session 20221 for node LTK_NWFS1 (NetWare)
refused - client is down-level with this server
version.
I´ve tried to upgrade the client to the latest version, 5.1.5.6 from 5.1.5
with no luck, and also to downgrade to 5.1 with the same result.
Now, the only ways I know to reset the node to Netware platform is;
restore the TSM DB to a date before the change (2 weeks now), resulting in
2 lost weeks of backups for all clients, OR deleting the node and then
re-create it, resulting in total loss of backup for that node (2 years of
data on what of course has to be the biggest fileserver, about 250 GB).
None of the options is really acceptable to the owners of the data, so
PLEASE, is there a third option? Is there perhaps a way to "manipulate"
the
"platform"-value in TSM:s database?
Kindly Regards
Med vänliga hälsningar
