Yup, I've done that, and it works fine, although you have to specify the /vmfs/filesystemname/* directory explicitly, because TSM doesn't recognize it as a filesystem during it's scan of all-local filesystems. Ilja G. Coolen _ ABP / USZO CIS / BS / TB / Storage Management

Hi, there is a misunderstanding somewhere. I thought Rogelio was asking about backup of the vmware OS itself, not about virtual machines. The task you talk about - of backing up / restoring virtual machines is working like a breeze, it is really a pleasure and a viable disaster recovery solution

You need to update each copy group one at a time. You can not use SQL to modify the TSM server database. One method that might facilitate this for you is to use the SELECT statement to build the UPDATE COPYGROUP statements for you: dsmadmc -id=storman -pa=x -dataonly=yes -commadelimited

The message you are getting means that the node STOOGE is not registered on the server. Are you sure you are connecting to the right server? You can run dsmadmc (administrative client) and do 'query node' command to see which nodes are registered. Alexei Kojenov TSM Client Development (408)
