Hi Everyone,
We have 2 Solaris v8 nodes that backup to TSM v5.3 server. Scheduled
backups are missing
the /var filesystem while cmd line incrementials (dsmc inc /var) work.
nodes: Solaris v8
node client: TSM ba client v5.1.6, then upgraded to v5.3.0 during
testing
TSM server: TSM v5.3 (on AIX)
The sched.log for a scheduled backup says the following. It worked, but
nothing gets backed up
out of /var.
Querying server for next scheduled event.
Node Name: ISOC-EBUS01P
Session established with server TSM2: AIX-RS/6000
Server Version 5, Release 3, Level 1.4
Server date/time: 12/30/05 13:54:37 Last access: 12/30/05

Executing scheduled command now.
Incremental backup of volume '/'
Incremental backup of volume '/var'
Incremental backup of volume '/var/run'
Incremental backup of volume '/opt'
. . . . deleted . . . .
Nothing in /var EVER shows getting backed up, transfered, expired, etc . .
. in the sched.log.
If we run cmd line 'dsmc inc /var' it works just fine and always gets some
files.

Incremental backup of volume '/var'
ANS1898I ***** Processed 1,000 files *****
Directory--> 512 /var/ [Sent]

Normal File--> 5,208 /var/adm/utmpx [Sent]
(and on)
If I delete the /var filespace on the tsm server and run the scheduled
backup, no filespace
is created. If I then run the cmd line incremental, a filespace is
created.
It's like /var is being excluded, but I can't find anything that's doing an
exclude. Putting
a domain clause in the dsm.sys with an explicit /var on it still doesn't
help.
Here are the client side inclexcl . . . .
exclude.file tsmsched.log
exclude.dir /devices
exclude.dir /cdrom
exclude.dir /dev
exclude.dir /proc
exclude.dir /tmp
Here are the server options . . . .
exclude /unix/
exclude.dir /unix
exclude /.../core
exclude /tmp/.../*
exclude /.../Lost+found
I've tried deleting the client side excludes and run without the server
side option set but the same
things occurs.
After upgrading to client v5.3 I ran some previews.
Below is a preview of /var - it ERRORS, saying /var is a invalid spec.

It's as if the /var filesystem simply doesn't exist!!!!!!
Here is the df for the box

files
/export/home (/dev/md/dsk/d5 ): 1638188 blocks 255155
files
We have 2 Solaris systems with this problem, but other Solarios systems are
ok.
Any thought are welcome!!!!
Thanks
