It is not a sample name, I think. It seems to be the node name that

If 'dsmc q opt' and option files inspection in general does not reveal
the "AA" nodename as an explicit specification, then TSM would be
taking it from the operating environment (as in hostname).  Your Query
Node output of "TCP/IP Name: testlpar" seems to suggest that for the
host, but possibly it is a multi-homed network adapter environment, or
the like.
