Alternate server Restores (Restoring node A data on other node B).

ALTERNATE SERVER RESTORES ( 2 ways )

-------------------------

First way:

dsm.opt:

changing the dsm.opt file. Say you want to restore client A's filespaces to client B, Just go into the dsm.opt of clientB, and change the NODENAME parameter from ClientB to ClientA. You can then kick off a normal restore.

Second way:

grant access :

safe way is to grant access. Issue this command from the DSM prompt in ServerA

SET Access Backup * Server_B

the recovery command is

res -fromnode=serverA serverA/filename serverB/filename
