Hi Mario, far back into 1998, when the nowadays TSM was called ADSM, I had a similar problem and asked the list by the following message:
http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/ADSM-L/1998-05/msg00510.html I can't remember who pointed me to the right syntax to solve it via the following line in dsm.sys VIRTUALMountpoint $(USERDIR) whereby the "USERDIR"-environment-variable was set before dsmc was called. Being retired now, I can't prove, wether this functionality is still available, but I guess it will be there. Hope this helps, Peter On Tue, 1 Mar 2011, Mario Behring wrote:
Hi all, I have to configure a virtualmountpoint option before some backups. The directory name, part of it, is formed by a date...and I will have to append this line in the dsm.sys file everytime I perform this particular backup. Here is the script...the TSM Clent is Red Hat... export ARCHLOG=`date +%d%m%y_backuptape.log` export DATA=`date --date='1 day ago' +%d%m%y2200` echo virtualm=/backup/rman/full/$DATA >> /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc i -subdir=yes -domain="/backup/rman/full/$DATA/*" >> /backup/tsmlogs/$ARCHLOG ....my question is, is it going to work? I mean, can I actually alter the dsm.sys file and then run the dsmc command immediately after doing it?....usually, dsm always checks filespaces before sendin data to the TSM Server. Regards, Mario
