Trouble TSM connections

Link : http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/TSMM/SC32-9103-01/en_US/HTML/comm_err_adm_ctr.html

Verify the TSM port is correct

Check to see what port the TSM server is using. You can issue the QUERY OPT TCPPORT command on the server to determine the server port.

Make sure the port used in the Administration Center is the same port the server is running on. Go to the directory where the administrative client is installed. Then issue dsmadmc with parameters matching those in the connection settings for the Administration Center. This command can also be issued from the server console.

dsmadmc -id= -pass= -tcpport= -tcps=

tsm: SERVER1>QUERY OPT TCPPORT
