The client node name you use within *SM does not care what the actual system
name is. So on your test server, you can define the nodename option within
the client options file to be the name of the production server. Then
simply test your restore. This effectively has the test system "acting"
like the production system so you want to make sure you don't do any backups
from the test system.
Alternatively, you can grant access to the test node from the production
node and restore that way. A little more difficult but that works as well.

Subject: DR test-testing
Here is a "Disaster-Recovery" testing question: we are attempting to
practice restoring the server then restoring a client from the restored ADSM
server. My current quandry lies in server-clinet names; the LAN techs say
we cannot define a test client with the same name as the test box lives in
the same segment as teh current production image. Does anybody know how to
restore a filespace from another client to a client with a different node
name? We are running ADSM 3.7.2 at the OS/390 server, & WinNT client
level 4.0.
TIA,
