Re: dsm.sys

Mahesh,

Did you work this out?

Not knowing what file systems you have, you might need to use
virtualmountpoint instead of domain?

Domain looks after file system mount points - and specifies which file
systems will be used to look for files that are eligible for backup. So if
/var/opt/oracle is your mount point, then that is what your domain should
be.

If you want TSM to treat the other directories (that are not file systems
) as file systems, then you can use the virtual mount point option. (There
are performance benefits as well for using virtualmountpoint - only if the
each mount point is of a similar size, but I digress).

However, if each of the directories that you listed below are infact file
systems, then you are correct, it should not have considered
/var/opt/oracle in the back up - run dsmc i and review the first few
messages - it'll tell you which file systems it is going to process.
