Salak, all,
my view of what you describe inline:
Salak Juraj wrote:
Hmm,
I played around between TSM server and an test file server,
both NT2000,
TSM server beeing in a workgroup
and test file server beeing in a domain.
From what i see here, this has the following effect (btw: if we get OT
here, please let me know - we might carry this offlist?):
Once a machine is in a domain, it normally does authentication only
against the domain unless you specify otherwise. Example:
I work on my notebook as a local notebook user, and want to mount a
share of a machine in a domain, but with a user context of a local user
on _that_ machine.
Once i type the \\server_in_domain\share into the file explorer, my
notebook sends along with the request the user info of my local context,
which is unknown to the server - so i have to specify and log on with
another account.
If i then enter as user "Server_local_username" and "Password", the
authentication will fail as long as this username and pw-combination is
not also available in the domain, since the server assumes domain
authentication.
I can log on with "server_in_domain\Server_local_username" and
"Password", though.
The other solution, as mentioned, would be to have a domain user with
the same name and pw as my local user, which would also let me log on,
without even having to type/provide this info myself. This is what I now
did for my TSM-Server, which is not in the domain of the server I want
to backup to.
I defined very same local users on both,
plan NET USE Z: ...
from TSM server to test file server works, no password input necessary (same
passwords).
This should not be possible. :)
But define devclass remoteshare devtype=file ...
fails both with Z:\ and \\server\ressource parameter.
Yesterday, I found it very useful to check by loggin onto the machine
with the user account i intended to have TSM-Server running under, and
do "net view \\other_server\share" - if i get "access denied", it won,t
work.
Second,
I tried to mount Z: using NET USE pointig to the very same TSM server
("remote" drive on local server)
Even in this case
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="z:"
failed,
...as should as the others have let me know? :)
but
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="\\TsmServer\TMP"
worked.
Conclusio #1:
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="z:"
works apparently for local drives only.
dunno. :)
Conclusio #2:
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="\\server\ressource"
should work, but we seem to have problem with user/password passing to the
"server".
to me, it seems as not provided by tsm...
I found nothing in tsm admin reference.
Who can help?
I hope the info given above might have shed some light, but I am still
curious to any additional info... :)
regards, tobi... :)
regards
Juraj

Hi Tobias,
Windows services by default run as a Local System account and this
account usually does not have access to network resources.
ok...
I usually
create a user for running TSM services and give appropriate
permissions to this user.
ok, familiar with the concept. And after playing around with it for a
bit I started to realize that for the setup I had in mind here, I face
the problem of having to pass along user- and passwordinformation, which
does not seem to be possible within the "define devclass..." syntax - is
that correct?
As effect of that, I would have to either take my backup-server-machine
into the same domain as the machine I intend to create my backups on, or
allow guest and anonymous login on that machine - is that correct also?
thanks again for the input and any further comments,
kind regards, tobi...
Regards, Imre

Imre, Allan,
thanks for the quick reply, but:

Hi Tobias,
Don't use the drive letter. It will work with the server name of
the remote machine.
e.g.:
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file
dir="\\servername\tsmbackups"
tsm: CMS2_SERVER1>define devclass remoteshare devtype=file
dir="\\cms1\tsmbackups" ANR8366E DEFINE DEVCLASS: Invalid value for
DIRECTORY parameter. ANS8001I Rückkehrcode 3.
Whereas i can see \\cms1\tsmbackups in the file explorer on the
machine CMS2, as well as do
C:\>net view \\cms1 Freigegebene Ressourcen auf \\cms1
Name Typ Lokal Beschreibung
--------------------------------------------------------------
----------------- tsmbackups Platte videos Platte Der

in a CLI on CMS2...
I do have to logon to cms1, though, before i can see it in the file
explorer - could that be a security thing, that the tsm-server on
cms2 is running under anoter user context?
any ideas? thanks for the input,
kind regards, tobi...

w2k not working on
mounted share?
hi all,
I would like to create a devclass of devtype=file on a windows
2000 server (w2k) running tsm5.1.0.0 using as dir-path a mounted
share of another machine. So what I do is I mount the share of
the
other machine,
using the gui-analogon to "net use" (sorry, German OS here,
don,t know
the English terms by heart), on, say, drive f:, and then do
define devclass remoteshare devtype=file dir="f:\tsmbackups" on
the admin command line. result is
ANR8366E DEFINE DEVCLASS: Invalid value for DIRECTORY parameter.
I am told that on a Unix-machine, it is possible to define
a devclass of
type file on mounted volumes...
Am I missing something here? What could be the solution to
my problem?
Thanks in advance for any input,
kind regards, tobias hofmann :)
