Backup Central

Hi All



TSM Server 5.5.2.0 on Solaris

Linux Client 5.5.0.0 - Real Application Cluster v6



I have the following issue. When the backup runs as a scheduled service it only checks/backs up the /boot filesystem.



I put the following in dsm.sys and that certainly allows me to run manual backups, but the incremental still doesn't work.



virtualmountpoint /



Any ideas?



Regards

I generally don't recommend using maintenance level 0 of a new
release of TSM code. Before Version 6 came out we were generally
getting good results with 5.5.1.0 client code. We are now getting
good results with 6.2.2.0 client code on systems with OS levels
supported for use with 6.2 client code.

OK, thanks for the advice.

Have you checked your dsmsched.log on the client for errors? Have you checked your tsm server actlog for the same time period for informative messages?

Hi

Yes, and not actually seeing errors.

The backup runs fine, but only check the /boot filesystem.

Regards

Farren

If your scheduler is not running under CAD, any changes made to dsm.sys and dsm.opt will not be known to that scheduler process until it is restarted.

You should also review the output of 'dsmc q opt' and 'dsmc q inclexcl' for containing what you actually want, as "compiled" specifications. An option of "virtualmountpoint /" seems pointless.
