Good Morning.
I have a client machine in our DMZ which I backup through port 6150.  The port 
is only open in 1 direction so the backups are server initiated over port 6150. 
 I'm only testing the backups at this point until I can successfully restore 
data to the machine.
What I need to do is restore data to the client over port 6150 from the 
server(server initiated).  I found a command "clientaction" but I was told by a 
few people that you could not push data to a client from the TSM server.
The TSM server is running AIX 5.2 and TSM 5.2.2
The client is running Solaris 8 and TSM 5.2.2

define clientaction OWGORAD4 domain=UNIX90 action=restore 
objects=/user/bill/myfile.txt

What I put in and I'm assuming is correct.
OWGORAD4 is the client I want to restore data to.
domain - Policy assigned to the client on the server
action - restore data to client
objects - file to restore

Will this create a 1 time job that will push the file or directory listed in 
"objects" to the client machine?   The restores we normally do are from client 
request and nothing inside the DMZ so this is all new to me.  Is there a 
different or better way to do a restore like this?  I assume on the "server 
command" line on the WEB interface I issue this command.

Thanks
Have a Great Day,
Eric
