Is it possible to launch the GUI for a VirtualNodeName?

[joxers64]

Hi There,

Is this possible?

I started the dsmcad with the following:
dsmcad -virtualn=virtual -optfile=/virtual/virtual_dsm.opt



I can launch the GUI but when i click on Backup or Restore I get the following:



from dsmerror.log on virtual:
ANS1835E PASSWORDACCESS is GENERATE, but password needed for server 'TSMSERVER'.
Either the password is not stored locally, or it was changed at the server.
ANS1835E PASSWORDACCESS is GENERATE, but password needed for server 'TSMSERVER'.
is not stored locally, or it was changed at the server.

I have a multi stanza
dsm.sys

SErvername TSMSERVER_virtual
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress TSMSERVER
COMPRESSION NO
TXNBYTELIMIT 25600
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
INCLEXCL /virtual/vcs_exclude.lst




dsm.opt:
SErvername TSMSERVER_virtual
subdir yes
VirtualNODEName virtual
password virtualpassword

Any help appreciated;

Thanks,

John

This is something that went away when IBM changed to a java gui
Works with older versions like 5.4 (maybe 5.5) so you are forced to use the command line
or I belive you can setup a proxy node if you will do restores like this on a regular basis, but it only works on files
not systemstate as far as I know.

The UNIX dsm is java based it just doesn't support the virtual node name with the DSMCAD process. At least not that I've ever experienced. You should not need the virtualnode name option if the environmental variables are set correctly for the user when you start dsm. Is it imperative you be able to run it remotely?

Thanks for the replies guys,

This is a nice to have....... wanted so that we might have the possibility of restoring multiple filespaces on the Unix virtual clients in one go.

we get a lot of these requests.

also

Now that i've started looking into it it's killing me that I can't do it!!!!!!

Thanks again,

John

Just run multiple CAD's if you need to run it through your browser. It's actually not that large of a resource issue. Create a CAD startup that changes the dsm.opt used so each starts with a different stanza in the dsm.sys. I've done this before and it's very simple. Just make sure you use different httpport settings.
