The first time we saw this it unveiled a very nasty problem. One of our administrators had "cloned" a system using the image of another machine, and didn't update the dsm.opt NODENAME.
So the result was that two unrelated nodes were both connecting in and backing up their data to the same TSM node. This node got two backups per night; if we had done any sort of restore in this situation, we might well have accidentally restored the backup data from one server onto another, and gotten all kinds of weird problems. I don't know how we would have ever gotten it sorted out, either, since TSM had no way on knowing which files were from which original server. Best Regards, John D.

Or does this cause a delay? And if this is an issue, is there a way to resolve this so that it doesn't occur?
