I still think TSM provides the necessary facilities to deal with the

When your client node was registered with TSM, YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD a TSM
admin id created for it.
Ask your TSM support group to give you the password for that admin id.
Or ask them to create the admin id for you; it only has CLIENT OWNER
privilege, so you can't do any harm to anyone else's stuff with it.

Then you can go to your recovery machine, start dsm with
-virtualnodename.
When the prompt pops up for the password, OVERRIDE the node name with
your admin id, and use your admin id password.
YOU DON"T NEED the client password.

And when the admin id password expires, you get prompted to change it,
that one doesn't get generated automatically.  It isn't involved in the
use of the scheduler.

If your TSM admin group doesn't want you to have the admin id with
CLIENT OWNER privilege, well, that's a policy question, not a technical
one....

I will ask about this and see what they say. That does sound sufficient
to meet my concerns.

Thanks,

Chris.

P.S. Andrew, I think our last couple of e-mails overlapped in cyberspace.
