I am trying to restore data from server_b to server_a using a GUI

this for NetWare 6.5, 2K/2K3 Windows and 5.2 AIX; I am using the 5.2
client for AIX and the 5.3 client for Windows and NetWare.

Windows is easy, just start dsm with the -virtualnodename option or
edit
the dsm.opt file. The CLI works using the -virtualn option when
running
dsmc.
NetWare only has the web client as its GUI.  Editing the dsm.opt file
doesn't seem to work. The CLI works using the -virtualn option when
running dsmc.

AIX has the web client and java as a GUI client.  Editing the
dsm.sys file
doesn't seem to work and the dsmj command ignores
-virtualnodename/-virtualn options. The CLI works using the -virtualn
option when running dsmc.

JR -

"Doesn't seem to work" is non-information: supply error messages sent
to terminal, to client error log, or the TSM client's Web log, if
what they say doesn't explain what's wrong.

Follow the manuals in detail: As for AIX, the Unix clients manual
says "Place this option in the client user options file (dsm.opt)".
The dsmj command is documented as not (yet) accepting command line args.
