Hi Snapdiff backups can only be done on the volume level. eg on Netapps we have
/vol/volume_name/qtree_name normally we export at the qtree level but in order to do snapdiff you need to MOUNT it at the VOLUME level. I also created a wiki which has some other snapdiff "features". https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli+Storage+Manager/page/Snapshot+Differencing+Caveats Grant On 30/05/13 12:41, joemon wrote:
Hi I am facing an issue with Snapdiff backup of NAS filers using TSM. I have added the shares in NAS and associated TSM schedules. The issue is with names I think. My Share name and Volume name are different. But if I am not wrong, Snapdiff is purely based on CIFS share name and not volume name. Is there any relation to that? Can anyone help me in this regard. I am getting the following error. 05/28/2013 00:00:08 ANS2836E Incremental backup operation using snapshot difference is only available for full volumes. \\nasXX\YYYY is a partial volume or qtree. 05/28/2013 00:00:08 ANS5283E The operation was unsuccessful. 05/28/2013 00:00:08 ANS1512E Scheduled event <Schedule name>' failed. Return code = 12. where nasxx is NAS filer name and YYYY is share name. Expecting suggestions. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
