Mahesh, Did you work this out?
Not knowing what file systems you have, you might need to use virtualmountpoint instead of domain? Domain looks after file system mount points - and specifies which file systems will be used to look for files that are eligible for backup. So if /var/opt/oracle is your mount point, then that is what your domain should be. If you want TSM to treat the other directories (that are not file systems ) as file systems, then you can use the virtual mount point option. (There are performance benefits as well for using virtualmountpoint - only if the each mount point is of a similar size, but I digress). However, if each of the directories that you listed below are infact file systems, then you are correct, it should not have considered /var/opt/oracle in the back up - run dsmc i and review the first few messages - it'll tell you which file systems it is going to process. ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, Customer Support Account Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 07/06/2003 12:59:00 AM: > Hello, all! > > TSM Server: 5.1.6.4 on AIX 4.3.3.10 > TSM Client: 5.1.5.2 on HPUX B11.00 > > I have the following in the dsm.opt: > > servername TSM01 > memoryefficientbackup yes > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/tkcs1 > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/arch > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/tkcs2 > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/system > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/tkcs3 > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/tkcs4 > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/temp > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/tkcs5 > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/redo > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/rbs > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/tools > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/control1 > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/control2 > domain /var/opt/oracle/ata/control3 > domain /var/adm/oracle/ata > domain /etc/opt/oracle/ata > subdir yes > quiet > > The following is in the dsm.sys: > > servername TSM01 > COMMMethod TCPIP > TCPPort 1500 > TCPServeraddress tsmbackup.carilion.com > NODENAME ata > TCPClientaddress ata.carilion.com > SCHEDMODE Prompted > SCHEDLOGRETENTION 2 > MAXCMDRETRIES 3 > RETRYPERIOD 10 > PASSWORDACCESS generate > SCHEDLOGNAME /var/adm/tivoli/tsm/log/dsmsched_ata.log > SCHEDLOGRETENTION 2 D > ERRORLOGNAME /var/adm/tivoli/tsm/log/error_ata.log > ERRORLOGRETENTION 7 D > MAILPROG /usr/bin/mail root > PASSWORDDIR /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/ata > PRESCHEDULECMD /etc/opt/oracle/ata/sbin/preata.sh > POSTSCHEDULECMD /etc/opt/oracle/ata/sbin/postata.sh > > When the nightly backup completes it is reported that I am backing up > between 45GB-65GB.
