Thanks for your input.
I got a great idea from a colleague at Laiki Bank that suggested to have
different .opt files (specifying different nodenames) and rename them
accordingly before each backup.

I tested it and it works fine.
Thanks

Hi

As I understand it, you have problems using different nodes, with
different settings and different scheduler services.

This is due to the fact that both scheduler services read their settings
from the same opt-file.

You should create a second opt-file for your second node, and then
register the second scheduler service with the /optfile:"full path to
optfile" setting.

This way, you could use separat nodenames and separat settings for your
two nodes, and the scheduler services will read different opt-files.

Best Regards

        Subject:        Second nodename for same server


Hi,
I have registered a second node name for the same Win2000 server and also
defined a second scheduler service on the server to use the second
nodename
in order to schedule backups using a different policy set.
So, I have nodename BOCOVS2 (original name in policy domain A) and
SYSBOCOVS2 (new registered nodename in policy domain B) for the same
server.
To define the second scheduler service I have defined a new dsm.opt file
with the option NODENAME SYSBOCOVS2 and associated that .opt file with the
second scheduler service.

When I change the name of the node in the backup/archive client
(Edit/Preferences/General tab) to the new node name and stop/start the
scheduler service associated with the new .opt file the schedule works
perfectly. The backup completes successfully, uses the correct management
class associated with the policy domain B and the data goes to
SYSSTORAGEPOOL.

When I change the nodename in the backup/archive client back to BOCOVS2,
the
TSM server still polls both nodenames. If a backup is executed it goes to
the storage pool associated with the management class of policy domain A.

Is there a way to solve this problem ?

Thanks
Yiannakis
