DEFINE MACHNODEASSOCIATION (Associate a node with a machine)

Use this command to associate client nodes with a machine. During disaster recovery, you can use this information to identify the client nodes that resided on destroyed machines.

The machine must be defined and the nodes registered to Tivoli® Storage Manager.

To retrieve the information, issue the QUERY MACHINE command. This information will be included in the plan file to help you recover the client machines.

A node remains associated with a machine unless the node, the machine, or the association itself is deleted.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
