So any "rw" lofs mounts in a non-global zone will be backed up by the TSM client in the global zone. Seems reasonable. There is one final opportunity for "double backup" the case "TSM client in every zone" case. That is each non-global zone's "/" filesystem. For instance: global zone: "/zones" mounted on /dev/dsk/whatever, with subdir /zones/zone_a/root zone_a "/" is mounted on /zones/zone_a/root, a "ufs" mount from the perspective on zone_a. /zones/zone_a/root/var is just a regular directory (not a mountpoint) inside of the /zones filesystem mounted on /dev/dsk/whatever. >From global zone: TSM client backup of "/zones" or "/zones/zone_a" will backup /zones/zone_a/root/var >From zone_a: TSM client backup of "/" will backup /var, backing up /zones/zone_a/root/var again. -Steve > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > ___ > zones-discuss mailing list > zones-discuss@opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] Re: Fwd: Re: Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) and zones
I would check with IBM on that. From my understanding from IBM is that TSM is supported with zones only if the TSM client is installed within the local zone. I do not think backing up the local zones through the global zone is supported. Nick On 1/25/07, Gael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Let's see if I got the whole picture right...
