Have you tried mapping remote directory as drive letter and proceed as usual, i.e. "net use r: \\10.0.0.7\tsmdata" and "def dev remdir dir=r:\" ? I would highly recommend you to use server-to-server virutal volumes instead. How your client intends to restore from those offsite volumes?
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Remote Sequential DeviceClass Hi TSM'ers My client wants his offsite backups not to go to tape but rather to his remote site across the WAN. The solution we decided on was to create a Sequential File Device Class on a Windows 2000 share and use this as a copy storage pool. Whenever I try and create it using the browser, I enter the directory name as \\10.0.0.7\tsmdata and it fails with the following error: ANR8366E DEFINE DEVCLASS: Invalid value for DIRECTORY parameter. I initially thought that is was 2000 that was responsible for this, so I tried it on another Win2K box with the same authorities/shares etc and it worked. I have even made the TSM server part of the Administrators Group on the remote Win2K box but still no joy. Any ideas Ta John
