-David- Is it a raw device? Is there a stanza in /etc/filesystems? You may need to back up the /dev/appl file space over which the logical volume is mounted and perform an image incremental backup. Then back up the /dev/devlv1 raw logical volume. Remember before doing an image backup on a device, any file system on the device must be UNMOUNTED.
Command: tsm> backup image /dev/appl -mode=incremental Command: tsm> backup image /dev/devlv1 If it is NOT a raw device then goto SMITTY and check the PERMISSIONS whether it is READ/WRITE... That's all the IDEAS I have ;-) Regards, Demetrius Malbrough UNIX/TSM Administrator -----Original Message----- From: David Gratton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 2:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 4.2.1 Client wont backup filesytem On one of my AIX boxes I have the below filesystem, which you can see with the df command /dev/dbrlv1 8781824 3819800 57% 329 1% /dbr/appl /dev/dbjlva1 4096000 298928 93% 142 1% /prod/dbms/emlogs /dev/dbjlva3 2449408 284400 89% 5483 2% /ist/dbms/sw /dev/dbjlva2 2048000 1261840 39% 2660 2% /prod/appl/code /dev/devlv1 4096000 656672 84% 24539 5% /dev/appl When I go to run the TSM backup and it hits this filesystem (I have all-local specified in dsm.opt and no inclexcl statements) I get this. tsm> i /dev/appl/ -verbose Node Name: SPNODE1 \Session established with server ADSMCS1: MVS Server Version 4, Release 1, Level 2.0 Server date/time: 03/14/02 15:07:32 Last access: 03/14/02 15:00:43 Incremental backup of volume '/dev/appl/' ANS1228E Sending of object '/dev/appl/*' failed ANS1063E Invalid path specification Any thoughts?
