Fixing the dsm.opt may not be enough. When Windows nodes are cloned with the TSM client in place, the registry will cause this interesting behavior even after the dsm.opt is updated. I've found I have to deinstall the TSM client and then delete the ADSM subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM (from both controlset instances) before reinstalling. - Margaret

Both servers have the same nodename value their dsm.sys (Unix) or dsm.opt (Windows) file. The name change occurs when the scheduling daemon or process checks with the TSM server. Fix the dsm.opt/dsm.sys file or stop the scheduling service on the server that is not supposed to be backed up.
