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 IBM Spectrum Protect™.

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.
