Tivoli Storage Manger on RedHat 7.2

[ProbablyDown]

Hi all,

I posted on Linux Server too, many good minds here too... and answer may be similar.

I am having trouble with the TSM client for Linux. It is very simple to install and use, but for some reason I can only back up '/' (root). I have the dsm.opt and dsm.sys set up correctly, as there is communication with the backup server.

Example:

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ida/c0d0p1 7706552 4251724 3063356 59% /
none 385316 0 385316 0% /dev/shm
/dev/ida/c0d1p1 8742536 2615772 5682660 32% /u01
/dev/ida/c0d2p1 8742536 444456 7853976 6% /u02

Given the above:
[root@srvr bin]# dsmc incr -subdir=yes /
This successfully does a recursive backup of '/'

HOWEVER:
[root@srvr bin]# dsmc incr -subdir=yes /u01 (...or /u02)

gives an error:
Incremental backup of volume '/u01'
ANS1076E *** Directory path not found ***

Any help would be appreciated...

In your command:

dsmc incr -subdir=yes /u01

add a "/" at the end like this:

dsmc incr -subdir=yes /u01/

This should do make it work properly.

Thanks AIXSPadmin,

Unfortunately though, I had already tried that. I also tried /u01/*, and simply *...

I'm totally at a loss... Like I said, I have it running nicely on my other AIX and Linux servers... The only difference with this RH install (I don't know how familiar you are with RH installer) is that I used kickstart.

With kickstart, You take the config file from a working box, and type linux ks=floppy at the boot: prompt...

I wonder if that would cause any problems?

I'm open to any other ideas....

Thanks!

Found the solution!!

I had to add virtualmountpoint /u01 /u02 to the dsm.sys file....

Thanks for trying though!!
