Don't use the GUI for major restorals - performance suffers.
Use -Virtualnodename for CLI-based cross-nodename operations, as described in

Thanks Richard! I found the option in the Unix/Linux manual I am
assuming it the same procedure in Solaris?
...

I am assuming it will prompt for ID password before restore

Solaris is Unix - common procedure.
You can let it prompt, or more readily enter -PASsword=______ on the command 
line.
Remember that you can "practice" first via a 'dsmc query backup' using those 
options to verify locating the source files in TSM.  That's always healthy, before 
proceeding with restore invocation.
