When you mentioned to alter my dsm.sys file are you suggesting that I remove the 'ServerB" name and replace it with 'ServerA' name?

Do you know it I can have both nodes under the same dsm.sys

here'ss an example of my dsm.sys:

PHP Code:
************************************************************************
Tivoli Storage Manager                                               *
*                                                                      *
Sample Client System Options file for AIX and SunOS (dsm.sys.smp)    *
************************************************************************
*  
This file contains the minimum options required to get started
*  using TSM.  Copy dsm.sys.smp to dsm.sys.  In the dsm.sys file,
*  
enter the appropriate values for each option listed below and
*  
remove the leading asterisk (*) for each one.
*  If 
your client node communicates with multiple TSM serversbe
*  sure to add a stanzabeginning with the SERVERNAME option, for
*  
each additional server.
************************************************************************
SErvername  ServerB 
   COMMMethod           TCPip           
   TCPPort              1500
   TCPServeraddress     192.168.1.5
   PASSWORDAccess       generate
   DOMAIN               all
-local

I don't think you can have both nodenames in the same dsm.sys file and be active. Meaning that I think you will need one of them commented out. We have two TSM servers here so I have to be concerned about the TCPPort and TCPServeraddress but if you only have one TSM server than you don't need to worry about anything but the nodename.

OK, after using bzip2 on the file I was able to scp2 it to ServerA. Your solution worked and helped. Thank you very much!!

Check the ulimit for filesize on the target system. It may be that this will not allow a 45GB file to be created.

The default max is 2 GB

If the two servers are on the same LAN and the connection is at least one hundred Mbits/sec there appears to be no reason to do anything other than rcp (or scp) the file. In this circumstance compression just wastes time.

If you look at previous posts in this thread you will see that scp was suggested and tried, it did not work. Most likely due to a ulimit problem. Making ulimit changes were suggested as an alternative compressing the file was suggested. I don't see it as a waste of time if it works.
