To restore or retrieve files to another workstation, use the
VIRTUALNODENAME option to specify the node name of the
workstation from which you backed up the files. You can either use the
VIRTUALNODENAME option when starting ADSM, or
update the client user options file. (Use the VIRTUALNODENAME option
on the dsm command if you are borrowing someone else's
machine so you do not change their configuration).
For example, if your node name is cougar, use:
dsm -virtualnodename=cougar
ADSM prompts you for the password for your original workstation. After
you enter the correct password, ADSM displays all file
systems from your original workstation in the File Systems for
Restore/Retrieve section of the File System Information window.
You can then restore or retrieve files as if you were working on your
original workstation.
So like in the example, if you borrow Joe Blow's workstation
(hostname: JOEAIX) and you want to restore to his workstation a file
from your backups (your hostname is MARKAIX) you would use (on Joe's
machine)
dsmc -virtualnodename=MARKAIX blah blah blah
OR
in his dsm.opt file just have
virtualnodename MARKAIX
generally if I'm doing anything like this I just use the
NODE blah
in the dsm.sys file
later,
Dwight
PS the diff. in the "nodename" in the dsm.sys file and the
"virtualnodename" in the dsm.opt file is the ability of an individual
nonroot user to have similar abilities in a multi-user environment.

What is the correct use of the parameter VIRTUALNodename in the dsm.opt?
TIA
