ANS1832W - SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION no longer supported on TSM 6.4

[Matute]

Hi guys, I was checking some backup errors on windows servers with TSM client 6.4.0 and I found that SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION option is no longer supported on this version.

ANS1832W The option 'SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION' is no longer supported and will be ignored by TSM client in this release.

Do you know if that option was replaced with another one? Is not possible to redirect the snapshot cache to another different disk?

I tried to looking for some information from manuals and forums but I didn't find nothing about.

I would appreciate any help regarding this topic.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION was used in conjunction with SNAPSHOTPROVIDERFS=LVSA for open file support. As of 6.4, LVSA has been discontinued and now must use SNAPSHOTPROVIDERFS=VSS. It's not possible to control the VSS snapshot cache location, that is controlled by Windows, not TSM.
