On the test server open the c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsm.opt file. At line #1 enter virtualnodename "client servername".
Remove any other reference to the nodename parameter from the dsm.opt. Save the dsm.opt. Launch the tsm software. You should see the data from the originating client. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Melburn W IT743 Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 3:31 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: TSM Data Recovery Tests W2K3 servers, with the clients also being W2K3 or Windows XP prof.

Sorry, I'm relatively new to TSM. I've also heard of granting proxynode, but that doesn't seem to work. I've tried registering the test server in TSM and then granting it proxynode to the server I want to restore from, but when I open the client I don't see the node I was granted proxy to.

Where I am running into a problem is when it comes to the test server logging into TSM to restore data from a server that is in production and does nightly scheduled backups. Every time I login via the TSM client and begin the full restore (which can take overnight because of the amount of data) it stops the actual production server from logging in at it's scheduled time to do its backup. Is there a way for my test server to login and do restore of a production server without preventing the production server from doing it's scheduled backups? Mel Dennis
