Hi ADSM'ers, IBM-Development-team
   My setup is as follows:
   AIX 4.1.5:  ADSM-SERVER 2.1.0.12
   AIX 4.2.1:  ADSM-AIX-Client (Level 3.1.20.3) and the relevant
      AFS-BUTA-binaries ( from the fileset:adsm.butaafs.client.aix42 ),
      using the Version 2 document "AFS/DFS Backup Client"
      (SH26-4048-00) and the V3 README's. 

I'd like to comment/ask ( and hope for some answer ):

1. Is the V3 of "AFS/DFS Backup Clients" document already available ? 
   Especially the documentation for "delbuta" is of interest.
2. The V3.00 /usr/afs/buta/delbuta works only correctly in the above
   mentioned environment for a "delete by dumpid". 
   Deletion by date or by age are not working.
3. In addition to that, the DSMI_DIR ENV-variable is NOT respected by
   "delbuta".
4. The file "/tmp/butaworkfile" MUST exist, otherwise "delbuta" tells me:
   "Error opening workfile /tmp/workfile".
5. If I honour the o/p of the "delbuta -h" I could draw the conclusion,
   that the "-d" option is not yet Y2K-compliant, i.e.

-d   specifies a date in mm/dd/yy format.  Backups created on or
     before this date are deleted. 
     before this date are deleted. 

   Is my assumption correct ?

6. If I do a "query filesp rzds1 /89* f=d", I get the following o/p:

                       Node Name: RZDS1
                  Filespace Name: /894554828
                        Platform: AIX
                  Filespace Type: API:DSMAPI
                   Capacity (MB): 65.536,0
                           %Util: 100,0
     Last Backup Start Date/Time: 
  Days Since Last Backup Started: 
Last Backup Completion Date/Time: 
Days Since Last Backup Completed: 
.....
   Question: why are there NO timestamps ( as usual for NON-BUTA
             filespaces ) ? 

7. If I do a "query filesp rzds1 /afs/*peter" I get the following:

Node Name                       Filespace    Platform  Filespace  Capacity
%Util
                                Name                   Type           (MB)

                                 sr37/peter                                     
 


   The above mentioned filespace was created using a 
                "VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT /afs/tu-bs.de/usr/usr37/peter"
   and run by    "/usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsmcafs".
   Question: Why is the "Filespace Type" UNKNOWN ?
 
TIA
