Hello Gary, 

I believe that you are correct in that TSM does not support more than one 
option set per client.

But you might be able to do what you want at the source level. 

You might have a file named general.options
And a file named            websrv.options.
Then at the os level you could create a new file with the merged contents of 
the above two files and use that file as the source for your option set.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Checking my understanding on client option sets

Tsm server v5.4.4 on Zlinux suse sles9; clients range from 5.1 throu 6.1.3.

If I have this correct, there is no way to stack option sets.
The idea is for a very general one, then a few more specific sets to cope with 
more special situations.

i.e.  Our general server set, then another set for web servers.which contains 
additional exclusions.

I hope I've made myself clear.
