Hi Mehdi, What are you trying to restore... is it just files, or is it a TDP process?
You have to be aware that the nodename in you dsm.opt file can be anything, as long as it is registered on the Tivoli server. If you are restoring Exchange you need to set up a VLAN, its probably the same for other TDP's. If its just files... Change the nodename parameter in DSM.OPT and then reset the password using DSMC. From the web interface you can then do a restore as the original server. Don't use "restore to original location" - It will get confused!! Always set a directory for the restore and (it should be neccessary) move the files later. When you have finished. I find it best to reset the client passwords on the clients and the server... just to be sure!! (I use password generate) The process seems scary first time you do it, but it really is simple!!!

According to the Redbook SG24-6141-00 I have to Name the computer the same as the one I am trying to recover. My problem is that the recovering Server is still in production and I would like to do a test recovery of this server. I have installed Minimum OS on this second machine, and it is in its own work Group. But when I try to name the Server the same as the recovering server, I get a message that a duplicate name found on the Network. How can I name the second server as the same as the first server and at the same time be able to see the TSM Server without connecting the our main Network? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
