Hello Joe

If I understand your question, you are using a one time backup on a
extra instance of a tsm server just for this restore.
To keep only one node's data on a tape set the Collacate parm on the
tape storage pool to the value YES. Or if you have a number of large
filespaces per node, you can set it to FILespace.
