OK I'm having some "bang-head-here moments" with this
old version of adsm.

Saga:
Server fred is running ADSM 3.1 2.90 & AIX 4.3.3
Client barney has been backing up to fred's tape
drives.
Barney is now dead (Barney was at the same OS level)

Problem: When dsm is brought up on fred only fred's
files & filesystems can be seen in the restore client.

What we know:
-------------
Barney is dead. There is stuff that was on barney's
drives that we need.
We copy barney's dsmsched.log files to fred every
morning we know he has been backing up files.  Using
NT adsm admin client we can list files in each tape
volume.  Barney's files are on tape.

What we've tried
----------------
Bring up dsm...

1. Restore - only sees fred's directories & files

2. Utilities->Access another user-> enter "node:
barney user:root"
   - Only see's barney's base directory structure. No
files.

3. Utilities->Access another user-> enter "node:
barney user:admin"
   - same result
   - file-> connection information says node fred/user
accessing as
     node barney/user root

4. "Utilities->properties->general-> Node Name"
   Changed Node name field from fred to barney and
clicked apply,
   OK and closed the client. Restarted dsm.
   - Same results.
   - file-> connection information says node fred/user
accessing as
     node fred/user root

5. Repeat 1 through 4 again after restarting adsm
server & scheduler.
   - same results
     What am I missing??

Help!!!
