Pete,

We are also supporting HP-UX 10.x systems.  According to our discussions
with IBM, they are currently working ADSM client support for this new level
of the operating system and VX-FS..  Although ADSM does not recogonize the
VX-FSs as a local file systems, it will back them up if told to do so
explicitly.  The approach that we have taken is to explicitly define all
local file systems using DOMAIN statments  in the dsm.opt file.  I copied
the following from one of the dsm.opt files:

DOMain  ALL-LOCAL
DOMain  /usr
DOMain  /var

It should be noted that ADSM still recognizes the root (/) file system as
being local.  That is why we include the DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL definition.

We are running an MVS version 2.1.03 server with 2.1.01 HP-UX clients.  I
don't think that the differences in the versions of server and client code
should matter for this issue.
