Vedr.: define devclass file on w2k not working on mounted share?
Hi Tobias,
Don't use the drive letter. It will work with the server name of the
remote machine.
e.g.:
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="\\servername\tsmbackups"

Vedr.: define devclass file on w2k not working on mounted share?
hi all,
I would like to create a devclass of devtype=file on a windows 2000
server (w2k) running tsm5.1.0.0 using as dir-path a mounted share of
another machine. So what I do is I mount the share of the other machine,
using the gui-analogon to "net use" (sorry, German OS here, don,t know
the English terms by heart), on, say, drive f:, and then do
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="f:\tsmbackups" on the
admin command line. result is
ANR8366E DEFINE DEVCLASS: Invalid value for DIRECTORY parameter.
I am told that on a Unix-machine, it is possible to define a devclass of
type file on mounted volumes...
Am I missing something here? What could be the solution to my problem?
Thanks in advance for any input,
kind regards, tobias hofmann :)

ANS8001I Rückkehrcode 3.
Whereas i can see \\cms1\tsmbackups in the file explorer on the machine
CMS2, as well as do
C:\>net view \\cms1
Freigegebene Ressourcen auf \\cms1
Name Typ LokalBeschreibung
---
tsmbackups Platte
videos Platte
Der Befehl wurde erfolgreich ausgeführt.
in a CLI on CMS2...
I do have to logon to cms1, though, before i can see it in the file
explorer - could that be a security thing, that the tsm-server on cms2
is running under anoter user context?
any ideas? thanks for the input,
kind regards, tobi...

Re: Vedr.: define devclass file on w2k not working on mounted share?
Hi Tobias, Windows services by default run as a Local System account and this account usually does not have access to network resources. I usually create a user for running TSM services and give appropriate permissions to this user.

I usually create a user for running TSM services and give appropriate permissions to this user. ok, familiar with the concept. And after playing around with it for a bit I started to realize that for the setup I had in mind here, I face the problem of having to pass along user- and passwordinformation, which does not seem to be possible within the "define devclass..." syntax - is that correct? As effect of that, I would have to either take my backup-server-machine into the same domain as the machine I intend to create my backups on, or allow guest and anonymous login on that machine - is that correct also? thanks again for the input and any further comments, kind regards, tobi...
