Setting the server name to serverName can adversely affect or stop operations that depend on communcations such as for the following purposes: administration from the Administration Center, client operations from backup-archive clients, library sharing with the library manager or library clients, or other server to server operations such as virtual volumes, event logging, or enterprise configuration. See the administrator's guide for more information about these components and the impact of changing the server name.

Explanation

The name that the server displays and communicates with has been set to the value indicated with the SET SERVERNAME command. Communication with the Tivoli® Storage Manager server is based on the name assigned to the server. If this is a source server for a virtual volume operation, changing this value can impact the ability of the source server to access and manage the data it has stored on the corresponding target server. Windows clients use the server name to identify which passwords belong to which servers. Changing the server name after the clients are connected forces the clients to re-enter the passwords. On a network where clients connect to multiple servers, it is recommended that all of the servers have unique names.

System action

Tivoli Storage Manager prompts the user to continue.
