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".
