Re: dsmc retrieve syntax for a remote node?

2018-04-12 Thread Marc Lanteigne
Hello,

The other thing to do is put the filespace in squiggly brackets.

dsmc ret {\\machine\x$}\* -fromnode=...

Like Steven, I prefer -virtualnode instead of from node.

With -fromnode, you have to grant the access properly, which is sometimes a
pain.  With -virtualnode, you just need to know the node password or have a
TSM admin ID that has authority on that node, but don't have to worry about
granting access.

Thanks,

Hi Jim

\\thatnode\c$\*.*

Retrieves only files in the C$ root directory with a period in the name.

If you want everything under c$ I'd use

ret \\thatnode\c$\*  -fromnode=thatnode -subdir=y

you will also have to specify a destination  as without it will try to put
the data back into \\thatnode

I find it interesting that you use -fromnode.  I had sort of forgotten it
exists.  I normally use -virtualn and if necessary change the node
password.

Cheers

Subject: [ADSM-L] dsmc retrieve syntax for a remote node?

I'm trying to retrieve some old archived data with dsmc from thatnode to
thisnode, and I seem to have forgotten the strange magic involved in
correctly specifying the paths.  So on thisnode,

dsmc> q filespace -fromnode=thatnode

shows me things like

\\thatnode\c$
\\thatnode\e$
\\thatnode\f$

but something like

dsmc> ret \\thatnode\c$\*.* -fromnode=thatnode

and various permutations just returns a message about nothing being
archived by that path name.  What am I missing?
