Found the  opt file:
Hostname\d$\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\SharePoint\DocAve4\VaultServer\DocAveMedia\dsm


More info-- when I double checked the service account id, I found that
it WAS NOT an admin for the SQL box.  I can now browse the sites!  

However, I am still confused... what option file does the TDP for
SharePoint use? The baclient\dsm.opt? the same one that the OS uses  How
can I assign a mc to the objects created by TSM for SharePoint?

Hi Guido,

Brand new VM, purposed solely as the Media Server & the DocAve Server;
TSM baclient level 5.5.1.0, with the DocAve version of 4.5.3 incr works
fine. DocAve Client installed on SharePoint server.

Installed from CD & following the IBM OEM instructions-- the install
seems to be done correctly.  I have an Active Directory service account
set up and all the tests return okay. The service account is a Farm
Admin, and in the local Administrators group on the DocAve Media Server,
the SQL box & the SharePoint box.

But-- I ran a Site backup, which said it ran successfully, with 0MBs
backed up.  I am unclear on how TSM fits into the mix.  Do I have to set
up local DASD storage for the Media Server and then does the baclient do
the backup at the OS level?   The only references to "TSM" I can find in
the documentation is how to set up the management class, and to have
nodename defined on TSM server and that TSM has index files on the local
Media Server file system.  It is silent on whether I have to set up a
network share on the DocAve Client to backup to the Media Server & how I
should configure the storage settings on the Media Server.  It talks
about what I can do, but not what I must do to set it up correctly for
TSM.

I have found some documentation by IBM's Dave Daun-- it is a PowerPoint
presentation that's helpful.  From what I can tell the IBM OEM
documentation is the Control Panel Module and the Data Protection Module
out of DocAve's User Guide. I also found some documentation on the IBM
DS4000 & DocAve that is helpful also, but in the sum I am still pretty
much in the dark.

I have error messages that won't let me browse the site too:

This is how far I've got.  I am attempting to backup subsites, and other
items that will not lock up production (did I mention this is
production-- we don't currently have a test/dev SharePoint set up), but
I am missing some essential ingredient.

thanks!
lisa

Hi Lisa,

What are the issues you are experiencing?

Keeps these things in mind before installation:
*    If installing the DocAve server package on a system where a TSM
client earlier than level 5.4.0.2 is already installed, all TSM clients
        and client services (such as the TSM scheduler service) must be
stopped to allow the installation and configuration of the DocAve
        connection to TSM to complete successfully.

Have you seen this User Guide Manual:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/
com.ibm.tivoli.sharepoint.doc/welcome.htm

Regards,

Guido van Brakel
