Hi We currently using ADSM 3.1.20.90 on AIX 4.3.3 If I understand FRED is your ADSM server and Barney is your client. If you have authentication set on, you must use the option of set access. Once you have done this you can change the NODENAME in your dsm.sys file to Barney on the FRED server and you should see the data.
If you do not have authentication set on, all you have to do is change the nodename in you dsm.sys file. We have done this on various occasions and it always worked.

Problems restoring files of a dead AIX client onanother system (adsm 3.1 2.90) What client level was "Barney" ? (and what level is Fred ?) If Barney was higher than the code on "Fred" then yes, natrually Fred can't see anything for Barney (from Barney)... Also ADSM isn't rated for AIX 4.3.3... (have to get in the standard IBM answer there ;-) ) I would try going into the dsm.sys file and making a SErver entry of SErver BarneyAsFred tcpserveraddress FRED node BARNEY <rest of stuff...> then do a (if you must use the GUI, I'd use the command line though) dsm -serv=barneyasfred that should work, but if it doesn't try the command line (dsmc) in the old days the GUI had lots of odd little quirks that made me never, ever, use it !

Problems restoring files of a dead AIX client on another system (adsm 3.1 2.90) OK I'm having some "bang-head-here moments" with this old version of adsm. Saga: Server fred is running ADSM 3.1 2.90 & AIX 4.3.3 Client barney has been backing up to fred's tape drives. Barney is now dead (Barney was at the same OS level) Problem: When dsm is brought up on fred only fred's files & filesystems can be seen in the restore client. What we know: ------------- Barney is dead. There is stuff that was on barney's drives that we need. We copy barney's dsmsched.log files to fred every morning we know he has been backing up files. Using NT adsm admin client we can list files in each tape volume. Barney's files are on tape. What we've tried ---------------- Bring up dsm... 1. Restore - only sees fred's directories & files 2. Utilities->Access another user-> enter "node: barney user:root" - Only see's barney's base directory structure. No files. 3. Utilities->Access another user-> enter "node: barney user:admin" - same result - file-> connection information says node fred/user accessing as node barney/user root 4. "Utilities->properties->general-> Node Name" Changed Node name field from fred to barney and clicked apply, OK and closed the client. Restarted dsm. - Same results. - file-> connection information says node fred/user accessing as node fred/user root 5. Repeat 1 through 4 again after restarting adsm server & scheduler. - same results What am I missing?? Help!!! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
