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 abit I started to realize that for the setup I had in mind here, I facethe problem of having to pass along user- and passwordinformation, whichdoes not seem to be possible within the "define devclass..." syntax - isthat correct?

As effect of that, I would have to either take my backup-server-machineinto the same domain as the machine I intend to create my backups on, orallow guest and anonymous login on that machine - is that correct also?


thanks again for the input and any further comments,

kind regards, tobi...

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=filedir="\\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

Befehl wurde erfolgreich ausgeführt.

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 :)
