Eric - The proper option to use for that purpose is -VIRTUALNodename. See "Restore or retrieve files to another workstation" in the client manual.

Hi *SM-ers! Does anybody know why IBM decided to drop the -nodename parameter for the UNIX clients? I discovered that this parameter no longer works in 5.3. It's documented in the manuals but that's not correct (IC46024). I'm trying to find a way to give our standby a way to restore data from another node, without the help of a TSM admin. I know there is a -fromnode parameter, but that requires a lot of extra work (accessing the source node, updating the node access list, restoring the file on the target server, again accessing the source server, removing the node from the access list). It would be so much easier when one could use the -nodename parameter! And I really cannot think of any reason why it was dropped! I would like to know how other people solve this. Thanks in advance for any reply! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon
