Hi Eric

Yes, defining a client action will accomplish what you're seeking.

No, there is no limits when it comes to the server pushing data to the 
client.

TSM Server Initiated restores






Good Morning.
I have a client machine in our DMZ which I backup through port 6150.  The 
port is only open in 1 direction so the backups are server initiated over 
port 6150.  I'm only testing the backups at this point until I can 
successfully restore data to the machine.
What I need to do is restore data to the client over port 6150 from the 
server(server initiated).  I found a command "clientaction" but I was told 
by a few people that you could not push data to a client from the TSM 
server.
The TSM server is running AIX 5.2 and TSM 5.2.2
The client is running Solaris 8 and TSM 5.2.2

define clientaction OWGORAD4 domain=UNIX90 action=restore 
objects=/user/bill/myfile.txt

What I put in and I'm assuming is correct.
OWGORAD4 is the client I want to restore data to.
domain - Policy assigned to the client on the server
action - restore data to client
objects - file to restore

Will this create a 1 time job that will push the file or directory listed 
in "objects" to the client machine?   The restores we normally do are from 
client request and nothing inside the DMZ so this is all new to me.  Is 
there a different or better way to do a restore like this?  I assume on 
the "server command" line on the WEB interface I issue this command.

Thanks
Have a Great Day,
Eric
