TSM client for restore purposes

[piedone]

Hi,

I installed a TSM client only for restoring. For this I would need to dsm.opt doesn't store the restorable node's name. I would like to configure the client to it asks the nodename and its password all time and open its backed up data.
If I write only the tcpserveraddres to dsm.opt it doesn't work.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

DSM.OPT file is needed:

TCpserveraddress <TSM_IP_addr_or_DNS_name)
TCpport <if_other_than_1500>
NOdename <registered_node_name>

Hi,

Yes. But I want to use it without nodename row. I want to use it on a computer which isn't used for backup. Only for restoring.

Thanks!

Without the nodename you cannot connect to the TSM server.

Having the nodename in the dsm.opt file does not mean it will run the backup! The backup runs IF you tell it to. Now, if there is another node out there that has the same nodename and active, you have to disable the TSM scheduler for that node while running a restore on the new node.

Restart the TSM schedulers after restore is complete.
