Take a closer look at the Unix client manuals.  Some options (Nodename is
one of them) can only be placed in the dsm.sys file.  If you want to use
something other than the hostname for the node, include it in the server
stanza.

Hi,

I am having a problem with the 5.2 or 5.1 client running under Redhat 9.0.

The client installs properly and seems to connect to the server.  I have
coded the dsm.sys file to point to the server.  However, any statements
I place in the dsm.opt file will cause the following error to be
displayed:

ANS1036S Invalid option 'NODENAME' found in options file '/opt/tivoli/tsm/
client/ba/bin/dsm.opt

Similar errors appear for any other valid option.

If I remove all options from the dsm.opt file and invoke the GUI and do the
configuration from there, none of the options I select in the GUI will be
placed in the dsm.opt file.

The attrib and owner rights on the dsm.opt and dsm.sys are correct.  The
two DSM_CONFIG and DSM_DIR environment variables are also set.

I am at a loss.  Has anyone seen this problem?

Thanks in advance.
