Hi Stefan Absolutely correct !
For now run the command with force=yes I found too , a fix patch for the TSM server about it Thanks Robert Ouzen Haifa University Israel -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stefan Bender Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Rename aFilesystem name for a VM machine Hello Robert, the behavior of the TSM server was changed as we received PMRs from users not being able to access their VM backups after such renames. Thus with APAR IC92869 ( https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1IC92869) the ability to rename file spaces of VM backups was disabled. What is the reason, why you rename the file space? Is the original VM disposed and you want to mark this deletion in the file space name by renaming it? So do you want to keep the file space as inactive until you finally delete it? In that case you may use the "FORCE=YES" option together with the rename file space command. This will bring back the old behavior of the command. However - once a file space is renamed it will no longer show up when you look for existing backups in the VE GUI - If you want to rename the file space because the VM was renamed, you will not be able to access any old backup under the new name. You will have a mixture of accessible and inaccessible backups within one file space. - Once renamed you have to rename the file space back to the original name, if you want to access VM backups. I hope that helps.
