running mmrecov on a HACMP clustered networker server

Why doesn't the mmrecov command support a "-s " option like the other NSR Admin commands? I have a two node HACMP cluster running a virtual networker server (NW V7.3.2). During DR testing, I do the following:

Shutdown NSR - nw_hacmp.lc stop
Remove the /nsr directory contents (simulate losing the shared /nsr directory)
Start NSR - nw_hacmp.lc start (starts the nsrd using the virtual server )
run jbconfig
Create the clients for each of the local nodes
Add the local clients to the remote attribute on the virtual client
use nsrjb to load the tape with the latest bootstrap into the tape drive
run mmrecov

At this point mmrecov reports that it is using the local server name as the nsr server, and all jukebox operation commands fail because no devices have a name like "rd=*".

So far the easiest way around this has been to just to change the entries in the /etc/hosts file so that mmrecov believes the local host is the virtual host.

Yes, even what you are after here is LGTpa92226 which deals with libraries (jbconfig). I'm not sure about AIX, but certain platforms had patch so you can see with support if it available or not. If not, workaround will be given to you or you will simply wait for 7.3.3.

I believe you have the same issue I had with MCSG and this is known bug which is corrected in forthcoming NW version. Workaround is listed in release supplement. I can't be 100% sure if this is the same issue, but it smells like it.

I just scanned through the 7.3.2update1 release notes and is this the workaraound of which you speak?:
The scanner command fails with a local device on a highly available NetWorker cluster server
(LGTpa85317)
When run from a local device on a highly available NetWorker cluster server, the
scanner command fails.
Workaround
Delete the local device.
Recreate the local device by using this command:
rd= :
No Events found!
