You can't account for (never mind, I won't say it). What you still have to take into account here is the password. Just because someone has dumped "that" dsm.opt file on another node doesn't mean it's going to 'automatically' work. Without the password how are you going to connect, and if you're using the same password for everything then you're really opening yourself up to lots of stupidity (there I said it) from the administrators.

Once the CAD/Scheduler starts....that nodename now points to this new box and the real NODENAME isn't getting backups anymore. I always pay attention to these messages as they could be a mis-configuration issue. If it's a cluster, then I (probably) don't care. But anything else is something I want to look in to.
