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.

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
