DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

FP2: Proxy node support for the db2adutl command has been added

Starting in Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2 and later fix packs, you can use the OPTIONS parameter of the db2adutl command to pass valid options to the Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) server. As a result, you can use the db2adutl command to work in TSM environments that support client proxy nodes.

Using proxy nodes simplifies some administration tasks because you can consolidate multiple physical machines under multiple users into a single virtual node name. Proxy nodes configurations make it is easier to perform restore operations from one machine or user to another machine. During HADR scenarios, this setup also lets you access log files and restore data more easily.
