Hi,

We register multiple nodes on the ADSM server for this purpose. (e.g.gappa1,
gappa2, gappa3 etc)

We then set up multiple dsm.opt files (dsm.opt.stream1, stream2, stream3)
and multiple server stanzas in the dsm.sys.  Each servername stanza in the
dsm.sys has a different nodename option (we also use different
tcpserveraddress too since we have lots of ATM interfaces)

Just export DSM_CONFIG in your korn shell scripts to pick the approriate
dsm.opt file.

Richard.
