Hi Richard
It is for DR testing, but i take your point with changing the nodename
in the dsm.opt file.
This is the output i am seeing - the virtualnodename made no difference.
It is true what it is saying, this node (SO03DRT02) never did backup
data for the other node (RESTNODE). I've tested this on a test client
and i can only see a restore via DSMC after i have actually performed a
backup. It could'nt see a restore object. However, via the GUI, it was
happy to restore the other nodes' data.
Note at the end of the output, it is quite happy for me to do a 'q
filespace' for the node i want to restore - it asks for the id and
password - and indeed the 'E' filespace is there.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Restore Query From DSMC
Avoid altering your TSM node identity with by planting a foreign
NODename value in the prevailing dsm.opt file: that can lead to
problems, particularly as TSM functions might be used by others on
that system while the change is in place. Instead, use the
VIRTUALNodename option, which is intended for cross-node work,
specified on the command line. See the client manual for info on
cross-node restorals ("Restoring or retrieving files from another
client node").
Specify the restoral as:
Restore e:\* f: -subdir=yes -tapeprompt=no -quiet -
virtualnodename=whatever
I always recommend that rather than launching right into the restoral
attempt that a Query Backup first be done using the same general
specifications, to verify overall correctness, as in:
dsmc query backup e:\* -subdir=yes -virtualnodename=whatever
If you encounter the ANS1084E, do
dsmc query filespace virtualnodename=whatever
to verify the filespace identity.
