Andy, since i want to collect and analyse the dsmsched.log of the done backups i like to do the following:
- a daily second schedule for each node that does a backup of dsmsched.log - easy and e.g. no access problems for firewalled systems, no different access methods for different operating systems,... - restore of that logs from a central secure point for analysis and reporting - i would like to do this auotmated with as less effort as possible. (no set access for new nodes,...) so: can the admin logon with commandline be done full automated? Thanks a lot Stefan Holzwarth -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Andrew Raibeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 7. Juli 2004 18:38 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Re: AW: Antwort: Restore from node to another node If you use -VIRTUALNODENAME=<nodename> from the command line, then enter your admin ID and password when prompted for the user ID, you can access the node's data. Some considerations: 1) In general, most users do not (or should not) have admin IDs that can access another node's data. As a TSM administrator (as most ADSM-L subscribers are) you have this access, but if non-admin user A wants to share data with non-admin user B, the -VIRTUALNODENAME option won't work. 2) In general, I would hope that admins with the authority to access other node's data would not do so indiscriminately or without the user's knowledge. 3) My comments are for very general cases (which is why I say "in general..." quite a bit) since the original question was not very specific. Of course, depending on your exact circumstances, one method might be preferable to the other. But for the very general question of "how can I access node A's data from node B?", my general answer is still to use SET ACCESS and -FROMNODE. The -VIRTUALNODENAME method is available only to TSM administrators (almost certainly the minority of your TSM user community) and -NODENAME should be used rarely, if ever, as I've already mentioned.
