Hey, it's me again. using the "set access backup -TYPE=VM" option, see below. then using the in-guest VM Recovery Agent, i see all the VM nodes on the TSM Server but selecting any other VM gets a "not authorized to restore this virtual machine" error. it can access it's own backups with no problem.
it's a bit messy but seems doable. has anyone else tried this before? am i on the right track? Thanks. tsm> set access backup -TYPE=VM PWINAPP448 PWINAPP448 ANS1148I 'Set Access' command successfully completed tsm> q access Type Node User Path ---- ---------------------------- Backup PWINAPP448 * \VMFULL-PWINAPP448\*\* On 03/24/2015 08:45 AM, John Underdown wrote: > Hi All, > > this is the only reference i can find for In-guest file-level restore > restore for Windows, see below. it appears the VM guest uses both > VMware Recovery Agent and Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive > client's "dsmc set access" option. but i can't figure out the > configuration. can anyone provide instructions on how to set this up? > > i want each VM guest to have file level restore to it's backup files > only. > > Any help in getting this resolved will be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks. > > john > > From IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments Version 7.1 > > These configurations require Data Protection for VMware Recovery Agent > to be installed in each VM guest.
