Hi Eric, Of course, NODENAME remains a valid option for the dsm.sys file. It has never been valid from the command line. IC46024 seems to refer to only a doc error.
You can try -VIRTUALNODENAME from the command line Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked. The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
