Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Nodename

Authorized User

Use the nodename option in your client system options file dsm.sys to identify your workstation to the server. You can use different node names to identify multiple operating systems on your workstation.

When you use the nodename option, Tivoli Storage Manager prompts for the password assigned to the node you specify, if a password is required.

If you want to restore or retrieve files from the server while you are working from a different workstation, use the virtualnodename option. See Virtualnodename for more information.

If you are working from a different workstation, you can use the nodename option even if the passwordaccess option is set to generate, however, the password will be stored in the registry. To prevent this, use the virtualnodename option instead of nodename.
