True, unix to unix works, and windows to windows too. Osx and netware
are oddballs, but not so common.
But we build an appliance that wants to "dsmc restore" from ALL the
nodes on a TSM site, windows and unix both, to spot-check
recoverability. Dsmc blocks cross-platfrm restores (windows vs unix at
leadt), and for no good reason, AFAIK.

Předmět: Re: [ADSM-L] Disparate Client Options
Thanks.
Really, I wish there was one code base for the dsmc client. As it is
now,
Windows-dsmc and unix-dsmc have different command-line options and
other
differences too.
And the cross-platform problem with dsmc makes it hard for us to do
what we
do (ie, restore testing across all platforms).
(Cross-platform problem means: from a WINDOWS dsmc client, you can
successfully connect to a TSM server, and use "-asnode=some-UNIX-
node" to
masquerade as another node; but then "query filespaces" comes back
empty.
And vice versa. )
Just grumbling. We dealt with it.

Ick.
What he wants is a central way to issue dsmc commands and point
them to a
different TSM server, with no client-side setup required.
Right, Nick?
We don't have a good answer for this either.

In UNIX use the -optfile= option and specify an opt file that
