Also, did you bounce the client after making the dsm.sys change?

I guess to clarify, we put the defaultserver parameter into the dsm.sys
file at the top and want all backups/archives to still go to the ADSM
server, not TSMDEV server.  Currently when we try any backups/archives
with the setup provided it STILL tries to go to TSMDEV.  I'm confused as
to why this is occuring... I guess from your question you are asking if
we issued the command via dsmadmc or if it was a scheduled backup?  It
was done via dsmadmc.  Even though we stated that the default server
should be ADSM, from your statement, I am assuming that we still have to
use -SErvername=ADSM in order to get it to go to the default server?  I
had thought that the defaultserver parameter would automatically take
care of this.  We don't want it going to TSMDEV yet since I still have
some things to set up before testing begins and that is exactly where it
IS going.  I hope my babbling made some sense....  If not, let me know.
Thanks again!

Joni - You need to tell us how the client attempted to use the new
stanza.
       Has to be invoked with  -SErvername=TSMDEV
since the  DEFAULTSERVER   ADSM
spec is still in effect in your client options file.
Beyond that, you have to tell us what evidence indicates "...isn't
working".
