Regarding NDMP GUI,

Do you have a TOC created?  In order to use the GUI you need to make
sure that the TOC is created and used when you perform the backups.
With a TOC you can technically use any client's GUI to access the NAS
device and see the files.

Does the device successfully complete backups?

Subject: [ADSM-L] JR- NDMP backup via the GUI


BACKGROUND
Equipment: IBM P-Series AIX 5.2 server running TSM 5.3, EMC Celerra DART
5.5.24-2. I would like to use the Client on the TSM server to do
backups/restores via the GUI. I have read the IBM Redbook (Using the IBM
Storage N Series with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager SG24-7243-00) on NDMP
and it is not clear on how to manage a NAS backup via the GUI. Chapter 3
Configuring IBM Tivoli Storage Manager goes into how to configureTSM via
the GUI Wizard, tape drive and NAS to work together; no mention of
granting authority unless this is done behind the scenes. On Page 32 it
is detailed on how to set the above up using the CLI. Page 37 you must
grant authority for the TSM server over the NAS box. This is the process
we used.

Chapter 4 Backup and Restoring Data On Page 42 you must grant authority
system for TSM client. This will change the authority from TSM Admin and
NAS Data Mover to System but the above CLI step explicitly told me I
needed to do this.

PROBLEM
When I start up the TSM GUI Client I do not see the NAS box. I have
confirmed that the NAS box can be seen via the dsmc client on the TSM
server. I have tried this before/after granting the additional authority
that is mentioned in Chapter 4. What are the correct steps for the TSM
client to be able to backup/restore the NAS box via the GUI?

Thanks in advance.
