Hello Gary, Two thoughts.
1) if you use the virtualnodename option, I do not think that you have to use the set access option. 2) I believe that you can use a global admin userid, a client admin userid or the by default the client nodename. See the text below in which just hitting enter would work.

Server 5.5.4, clients 5.4.0. I want to restore files from servera/sub1 to serverb/sub2 On server a, I got into the tsm command line client and entered Set access b /sub1/* serverb * Set access b /sub1/*/* serverb * Got ans1148 completed messages for both commands. Went to serverb, entered: Dsmc -virtualnodename=servera When asked for the user id, I put in root As I was logged in as root. Received ans1353e session rejected. What have I missed?
