Backup Central

I am running Windows 2003 server on an IBM box. Tivoli Storage Manager
version is 5.5. I created a new Disk Storage Pool. I am trying to define
the volumes of this disk storage pool on a network connected share. I have
a DFS share setup for the network share. I have tried running the following
commands
1. DEF VOL diskprim1 \\domain.name.xxxx\resources\share Returned info:
ANR2404E Define Volume: Volume \\domain.name.xxxx\resources\share is not
available. Return code: 14

2. DEF VOL diskprim1 Drive letter:\share Returned info: ANR2404E Define
Volume: Volume Drive letter\share is not available Retur code: 14


3. DEF VOL diskprim1 \\domain.name.xxxx\resources\share\diskprim1_vol1 f=10
w=y Returned info: ANR7821W Unable to create directory when creating volume
\\domain.name.xxxx\resources\share\diskprim1_vol1

Can anyone help me with this issue. If more information is needed please
let me know. Thank you all.

so:

1- the volume (a file) doesn't exist
2- dito
3- the directory in which you are creating the volume doesn't exist

btw, are you very very sure that you want to use a share for TSM disk
volumes?

I'd think that def vol d:\share\vol000 formatsize=X should work, even
on a network share.

Looks like the account running the TSM Server service can't see the network
share. You either need to run the TSM Server under a different user
(it's probably SYSTEM), or change the security settings for SYSTEM to see
the network shares.

The share needs to be accessible by the user that is running the TSM
service. If it is running under the system account, you have to do some
fancy windows administrator stuff to get it to work. Also, if the file
volume doesn't exist already, you have to use the "f=" option in the
command (Which you used in #3)

By the way, I can't imagine using a random access volume like this on a
network share could have great performance. Hopefully this is just a
lab/test TSM implementation?

Shawn
