The query node command displays all the nodes for which an administrative user ID has authority to perform operations. Tivoli® Storage Manager prompts you for an administrator ID.
The administrative user ID should have at least client owner authority over the client workstation node they are using either from the command line or from the web.
Use the type option
to specify the type of node to filter for. The following are the valid
values:
nas- client
- server
- any
The default is any.
Note: When the
Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments license file is installed
on a VMware vStorage backup server, the platform string that is stored
on the Tivoli Storage Manager server is set to "TDP VMware" for
every nodename that is used on that machine. The platform string can be used in
the context of PVU calculations. If a nodename is being used to back
up the machine with standard Backup-Archive client functions (e.g.,
file-level or image backup), then this platform string should be interpreted
as a "client" for the purposes of PVU calculations.
See Estimating processor value units in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide for more information.
