I have a directory "/var/spool/cron/crontabs" that I want to back up.
I have placed this in the dsm.opt file under DOMAIN and in dsm.sys file under
VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT.
What happens is that if I start the client session eg:dsmc,I get the following
error ...
--ANS4931S File space /var/spool/cron/crontabs in System Options File is
invalid.
This File space is being ignored. Processing will attempt to continue.
This File space is being ignored. Processing will attempt to continue.
This directory is included the same way in all my other backup nodes and works
fine (AIX).
If I take away the virtual mount point option in dsm.sys then the error message
goes away.
Why is this ????
Any insight appreciated.
