You can't account for (never mind, I won't say it).

What you still have to take into account here is the password. Just
because someone has dumped "that" dsm.opt file on another node doesn't
mean it's going to 'automatically' work. Without the password how are
you going to connect, and if you're using the same password for
everything then you're really opening yourself up to lots of stupidity
(there I said it) from the administrators.

Until you get some admin that installs TSM and copies the DSM.OPT from a
client that has the NODENAME specified. Once the
CAD/Scheduler starts....that nodename now points to this new box and the
real NODENAME isn't getting backups anymore. I always pay
attention to these messages as they could be a mis-configuration issue.
If it's a cluster, then I (probably) don't care. But
anything else is something I want to look in to.
