Dear ADSMers, IBMers:
As you might already guess, I still have problems with symboliclinks,
despite whether IBM were able to reproduce it or not. I believe the problem
may be on the "AIX" (i.e., operating system level), so I was wondering if
WE (the ADSM support could help IBM to better isolate the problem).
There are many of us with different "ADSM levels", and of course that must
be one of our big problems. What I suggest is to apply a common test in
every "ADSM/AIX level "and to provide this information to IBM (via the
ADSL-L list).
Just to give you an example, I will apply the following test:
type "banner start"
create directories, files and links
run a selective backup
run a restore
show the ADSM options file, AIX level, ADSM level and list of PTFs
applied
type "banner end'"
get all the sysout from start to end and send it to the list.
Everybody with enough time could then try to run this simple test under
their AIX/ADSM configuration and send the result to the list.
I ran this tests under AIX 4.2, ADSM server 2.1.5.12 and ADSM AIX client
2.1.0.6.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

TEST RESULTS : The problem IS still here.

(does anybody get the same under the SAME ADSM configuration??)

Comments on this will be well-accepted.
Your ADSM-friend
Armando.
