TDP plugin -can't validate Data Mover

[michalwu]

Hi

I am using:
OS: RHEL 6.3
kernel: 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64
TSM: 6.3.3.0
TSMforVE: 6.4
TSM client: 6.4
Virtual Center: 5.1

I have created nodes and granted proxynodes just like in:
http://jackiechen.org/2012/10/11/tsm-6-3-install-data-protection-for-vmware/

DSMC is listing VMs fine:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin dsmc show vm all

But TDP4vmware plugin is complaining about validating Data Mover (error ANS2813E: The TSM Server returned and empty network address or port number for 'VC1_DC1_DM1').
Trace file shows:

dsmtrace.cpp        ( 146): TSMCLI - inquire.cpp(574): tsmclibackup() Exit. [B]Empty HL or LL Address returned from TSM Server[/B]

Inquire_config shows empty hladdress/lladdress.

su - tdpvmware -c '/opt/tivoli/tsm/tdpvmware/common/scripts/vmcli -f inquire_config'

I have even updated node config, and "q node VC1_DC1_DM1 f=d" shows:

High-level Address: 10.10.0.207
Low-level Address: 1500

But problem remains.
Any suggestions?

I think I have to add, that both TSM and TSM4ve are installed on the very same server. And I am trying to use 'commethod sharedmem' instead of network.

Have you configured the CAD to be running when you put in the TSM BAC? Also which nodes are virtual and which one is the real one? The real node is the DataMover.

 

[michalwu]

VC1
and
VC1-DC1 -Virtual Center appliance


VC1-VCLI1
and
VC1-DC1-DM1 --both nodes are on the same physical server 10.10.0.207

Have you configured the CAD to be running when you put in the TSM BAC?

What do you mean?

The CAD is the client acceptor daemon. Using the GUI from the BAC you can configure it along with the scheduler using the OPT file for the Data mover (DM1). Do a query proxy and post it for me.

I think the issue has been solved! Rallingham, thank you for support!
I was digging through manual and found "tcpcadaddress" option. So I added this to my /etc/opt/tsm/dsm.sys:

tcpcadaddress 10.10.0.207

and now TDP plugin is detecting HL and LL address.


It started to complain about ld_library_path not set, so I modified .bashrc file by adding:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin

And all seems working just fine.



Now I see error GVM1213E - The Plug-in detected mismatching Tivoli Storage Manager Server entries in the current settings. Tivoli Storage Manager Server definition used by the Plug-in UI: server1 Tivoli Storage Manager Server where backups are stored: server2

Since I want to have both TSM and TDP on same machine, I think it is unavoidable



Rallingham, you asked for q proxy:
