Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
The virtualnodename option specifies the node name of
your workstation when you want to restore or retrieve files to a different
workstation.
When you use the virtualnodename option in your client options
file, or with a command:
- You must specify the name you specified with the nodename
option in your client options file (dsm.opt). This
name should be different from the name returned by the hostname
command on your workstation.
- Tivoli Storage Manager prompts for the password assigned to the node you
specify, if a password is required. If you enter the correct password,
you have access to all backups and archives that originated from the specified
node.
When connecting to a server, the client must identity itself to the
server. This login identification is determined in the following
ways:
- If the nodename and virtualnodename options are not
specified, or a virtual node name is not specified on the command line, the
default login ID is the name returned by the hostname
command.
- If the nodename option is specified, the name specified with
the nodename option overrides the name returned by the
hostname command.
- If the virtualnodename option is specified, or a virtual node
name is specified on a command line, it cannot be the same name as the name
returned by the hostname command.
When the virtual node name is accepted by the server, a password is
required (assuming authentication is on), even if the
passwordaccess option is generate. Once a
connection to the server is established, then access is permitted to any file
backed up using this login ID.
Options File
Place this option in the client options file
dsm.opt.
