Hi *SMers,
Running my TSM v5.1.5 client on a Solaris 2.6 box, and
the server on an IBM box AIX 5.1 ML2, TSM 5.1.5.

I am trying this command:
dsmc backup image /dev/vx/dsk/ssadg/fn_cache0
to backup one Veritas raw volume.

I have not file system mounted on that volume. My
application is down, and not processes or uid are
using that volume.

However, every time I try it fails.

Tivoli Storage Manager
Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface - Version
5, Release 1, Level 5.0

Node Name: SEABASS
Session established with server SNAPPER: AIX-RS/6000
  Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 5.0
  Server date/time: 03/27/2003 19:33:27  Last access:

ANS1228E Sending of object
'/dev/vx/dsk/ssadg/fn_cache0' failed
ANS1063E Invalid path specification

The path exists as you may see from this long listing:
seabass(root)/> ll /dev/vx/dsk/ssadg/fn_cache0
brw-rw-r--   1 fnsw     fnusr    140,23007 Mar  6
2000 /dev/vx/dsk/ssadg/fn_cache0
seabass(root)/>

Per TSM recommendation an entry has been put on
/etc/vfstab just for this command.
seabass(root)/> tail -3 /etc/vfstab
/dev/vx/dsk/ssadg/fn_cache0
/dev/vx/rdsk/ssadg/fn_cache0    /fn_cache0_bkup
ignore  3       no      -


TSM documentation on this feature does not give many
details.

Any clue what I am doing wrong?
