Thanks for the response.  We did some extensive testing and found that
we were able to restore the directories (arch, control1, control2 etc. )
under the mount point (/var/opt/oracle/lawtest) but were unable to get
the files to restore to the correct sub directories - they all ended up
under the mount point.  We also tried the GUI version and no matter what
option was selected as far as the destination, the files would not
restore to the correct directories.

Sure, probably on your new server those don't exist as "filesystems"
Only filesystems may be used in domains so the source server is
treating
them as filesystems.
the "filesystem" is part of a key internally in tsm...
on your ~test~ box you probably only have /var as the filesystem...
use something like
        restore {/var/opt/oracle/lawtest/arch}/* -subdir=yes
to force it to look past the key using filesystem /var
this can also bite you if you do something like change subdirectories
into
independent filesystems and go looking for backups from when they were
just
subdirectories...

I believe I got the syntax right with the {}'s but you might want to
double
check the manual...
mainly the {}'s are to force the classification of what tsm should
think is
the filesystem name, so use them to outline the filesystem name as it
is
thought to exist within tsm for the source client node... use "q file
<sourcenode>" from an admin command to double check what tsm things are
the
proper names.

hope this helps...

Subject: Unable to restore entire directory structure


We are currently using TSM version 5.1.5.2 to backup our N-class
servers
running HP-UX 11.00. In order to test restores, we are attempting to
restore backups to a virtual node and have found that we are unable to
restore the entire directory structure. For
example, on the system being backed up, the following Directory
exists
- /var/opt/oracle/lawtest with several sub directories and files.
When
attempting to restore the entire directory structure to another node,
only a sub directory will be restored with no files and not all sub
directories will be restored even though each
directory is selected in the restore. The directories to be backup are
specified in the dsm.opt file as domain /var/opt/oracle/lawtest/arch,
domain /var/opt/oracle/lawtest/data1, domain
/var/opt/oracle/lawtest/index1 ... etc. Does anyone have any
suggestions
on restoring the entire directory structure?
