Sorry, it's an AIX server that was retired. I just take it for granted that
everyone uses UNIX on this list ( right ? )

You don't say what your client platform is, so I'll assume Windows; you can
make adjustments as necessary if this is a UNIX type system.
* You will need either the password for the retired server, or a TSM
admin password with at least DOMAIN authority.
* Log in to a machine you want to restore files TO.
* Open a a DOS/CMD window
* cd to c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient
* start the TSM client this way:
dsm -virtualnode=OLDSERVER
* a box will pop up with the nodename OLDSERVER, asking for its
password
* type the password, or:
type over OLDSERVER with your admin id and password
* the client will open as usual, but the tree you will see is the TSM
inventory of files for OLDSERVER, not the machine you are logged on to
* you can navigate the tree and do restores as usual, EXCEPT:
you cannot specify "restore to original location" on the restore;
you MUST point the restore to a directory on the current machine
Restriction:
If OLDSERVER is windows, you must restore to a Windows machine
if OLDSERVER is unix, you must restore to a unix machine with a pretty
compatible file system

Subject: Accessing a retired server's backup on Tivoli server
Hi Everybody,
We've recently retired a server that was being backed up using Tivoli.
However, how can I restore individual files on the TSM server for this
retired node ? The filespaces have not been removed and don't know what is
the best way to access the data.
