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.
Ideally, the administrative user ID has 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: Data Protection for VMware license file is installed on a
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 (for example, file-level or image backup), then this platform string would be interpreted
as a "client" for the purposes of PVU calculations.
For more information about processor value units, see Estimating processor value units in the Tivoli Storage Manager server documentation.
