But, that is not what I need to do. The nodename will remain the same (so will the DSM.SYS). It is the box that will be completely different (physically, IP) yet have the same filesystem structure/names.

You can rename a node using the "rename node" command. If you do this, then change the nodename option in your dsm.sys file, all will be well. I tested this yesterday using tsm v5.3 client to a v5.2.9 server both solaris 2.8. 1. reg node gp3 2. set up node gp3 and back up a large directory tree. 3. ren node gp3 gp4 4. edit dsm.sys on gp3, changing nodename to gp4. 5. start the command line, ( as root) to enter the admin password for node gp4. This is the old password for gp3. 6. restart command line client, and do a restore. Files were restored succesfully. Hope this helps.
