When you register the test box to TSM you can give whatever name you =
like
ie testbox
For recovery purposes, what you can do is change the nodename in the =
dsm.opt
file on your test
machine from "testbox" to the same name as the machine you are =
recovering from.
Then you will be able to recover to the testbox.
You will not be able to do any backups/restores on your production =
server while
your test in in progress.

Subject:  Testing A WIN2k Server restore



Hi All,

I have finally found a server that I can do a test restore.

According to the Redbook SG24-6141-00 I have to Name the computer the =
same
as the one I am trying to recover.  My problem is that the recovering =
Server
is still in production and I  would like to do a test recovery of this
server.  I have installed Minimum OS on this second machine, and it is =
in
its own work Group.  But when I try to name the Server the same as the
recovering server, I get a message that a duplicate name found on the
Network.

How can I name the second server as the same as the first server and at =
the
same time be able to see the TSM Server without connecting the our main
Network?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
