Greetings, I have a situation where the TSM client seems to be ignoring some mounted filesystems. I have a need to have a TSM preschedule command which imports some volume groups and mounts their filesystems. (This data is an EMC disk clone of another system, but that is immaterial). Once the preschedule command mounts the filesystems, I run an incremental of the system which should back up only those filesystems that are the ones I just mounted, which happen to all be mounts behind the same mount point /tsmprdaok. My include/exclude file is extremely simple:
exclude /.../* include /tsmprdaok/.../* ( I know this will need to exclude other filesystems eventually, but for the sake of keeping it simple this is how it is for now.) When the backup runs, it produces: Executing scheduled command now. 10/18/07 17:45:12 Executing Operating System command or script: /opt/misd/bin/importPrdVg prdaok 10/18/07 17:45:29 Finished command. Return code is: 0 10/18/07 17:45:29 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN @27 10/18/07 17:42:38 10/18/07 17:45:29 Incremental backup of volume '/' 10/18/07 17:45:29 Incremental backup of volume '/usr' 10/18/07 17:45:29 Incremental backup of volume '/var' 10/18/07 17:45:29 Incremental backup of volume '/home' 10/18/07 17:45:29 Incremental backup of volume '/opt' 10/18/07 17:45:29 Incremental backup of volume '/opt/emctools' It does not list any of the filesystems (16 in all) that are mounted by the preschedule onto /tsmprdaok. Yes, I have verified that the filesystems are really being mounted by issuing a 'df' while the backup is running. If I issue the preschedule command manually to mount the filesystems, and then run a plain scheduled backup, it produces: Executing scheduled command now. 10/19/07 13:50:42 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN @28 10/19/07 13:49:05 10/19/07 13:50:42 Incremental backup of volume '/' 10/19/07 13:50:42 Incremental backup of volume '/usr' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/var' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/home' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/opt' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/opt/emctools' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok/clarity' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok/xfile' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok03' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok04' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok05' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok06' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok07' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok08' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok09' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok10' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok01' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaok02' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaokwta' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaokjrn' 10/19/07 13:50:43 Incremental backup of volume '/tsmprdaok/epic/prdaokaltjrn' What gives? Why does it work when I mount the filesystems before I run the incremental, but when the filesystems are mounted from inside a preschedule command TSM ignores them? Asked another way, when does the TSM scheduler look at the OS and decide what filesystems exist? Does this happen before or after the preschedule runs? Is there any way to control this behavior?
