Hi *SMers, Running my TSM v5.1.5 client on a Solaris 2.6 box, and the server on an IBM box AIX 5.1 ML2, TSM 5.1.5.
I am trying this command: dsmc backup image /dev/vx/dsk/ssadg/fn_cache0 to backup one Veritas raw volume. I have not file system mounted on that volume. My application is down, and not processes or uid are using that volume. However, every time I try it fails.

Any clue what I am doing wrong? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.yahoo.com
