I'd try a backup. I'm pretty sure it is just weird formatting of the q opt output. Yours looks like mine and it is working fine.

Something weird is going on here. Here is the output from just the dsmc q opt command: VCDVAPP: NO VERIFYVAPP: NO VERIFYVAPPEXT: NO VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT: /dev VIRTUALNODENAME: KL1241M3 VMAUTOSTARTVM: NO VMBACKDIR: VMBACKNODELETE: NO VMBACKUPTYPE: FULLVM Notice the fact that /dev is not behind the VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT line but on the next line! I deleted the whole line (through vi) and recreated it (also through vi), just to prevent special characters or crlf's, but to no avail...

On my Linux TBMR systems the /dev is on the line following " VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT:" in the q opt output.

I have a Linux client with Cristie TBMR installed on it. TBRM requires that /dev is backed up which is normally excluded by the Linux BA client. To force this backup I need to add the virtualmountpoint parameter to the dsm.sys file which I did: servername KL1241M3_client tcpserveraddress KL1245DY.IS.KLMCORP.NET nodename KL1241M3 tcpport 1502 tcpwindowsize 63 tcpbuffsize 512 txnbytelimit 2097152 passwordaccess GENERATE virtualmountpoint /dev errorlogname /opt/tivoli/tsm/log/ba/dsmerror_KL1241M3_client.log errorlogr 14 d schedlogname /opt/tivoli/tsm/log/ba/sched_KL1241M3_client.log schedlogretention 14 passworddir /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/config/KL1241M3_client However, it is not working: [root@kl1241m3 bin]# dsmc q opt|grep VIRTUAL VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT: VIRTUALNODENAME: KL1241M3 Does anybody have an idea why it isn't working? Thanks for any reply in advance!
