OK.  That worked. Step #1 thru 10 using restore command -- restore
-fromnode=cgotst32 \\cgotst32\c$\* c:\ -replace=all -subdir=yes  

How do you restore systemservices and systemstate from cgotst32 to
cgotst32b??

Sounds like maybe he didn't set access on cgotst32 for cgotst32b.  

 

You have to do the following steps on cgotst32b

 

To authorize another node to restore or retrieve your files:

 

1. Click Utilities -> Node Access List from the main window. The Node
Access List window appears. 

2. Click the Add button. The Add Access Rule window appears. 

3. In the Add Access Rule window, select an item in the Permit Access to
field to specify the type of data that the other user can access. You
can select either Backed up Objects or Archived Objects. 

4. Type the node name of the user in the Grant Access to Node field.
Type the node name of the user's host machine in the Grant Access to
Node field. 

5. Type the name of a user on the host machine in the User field. 

6. In the Filespace and Directory field, select the file space and the
directory that the user can access. You can select one file space and
one directory at a time. If you want to give the user access to another
file space or directory, you must create another access rule. 

7. If you want to limit the user to specific files in the directory,
type the name or pattern of the files on the server that the other user
can access in the Filename field. You can make only one entry in the
Filename field. It can either be a single file name or a pattern which
matches one or more files. You can use a wildcard character as part of
the pattern. Your entry must match files that have been stored on the
server. 

8. If you want to give access to all files that match the file name
specification within the selected directory including its
subdirectories, click Include subdirectories 

9. Click the OK button to save the access rule and close the Add Access
Rule window. 

10.  The access rule that you created is displayed in the list box in
the Node Access List window. When you have finished working with the
Node Access List window, click the OK button. If you do not want to save
your changes, click Cancel or close the window.

 

Then to do the restore on cgotst32b

 

If you are using commands, use the fromnode option to indicate the node.
You must also use the file space name, rather than the drive letter, to
select the restore-retrieve drive you want to access. Include the file
space name in braces and use it like a drive letter. For example, to
restore cougar's files from the \projx directory on the d-disk file
space to your own \projx directory, enter: 

 

  dsmc restore -fromnode=cougar  \\cougar\d$\projx\* d:\projx\

 

Use the query filespace command to display a list of file spaces. For
example, to display a list of cougar's file spaces, enter: 

 

   dsmc query filespace -fromnode=cougar

Hi...........

 

I am having problems with restoring a VmWare logical server (cgotst32)
to another VmWare logical server (cgotst32b).  It just will not restore.

Any help from the TSM group which is smarter then myself??

 

TSM server v5.2.7.3

TSM client V5.4.0.2

MS W2K3 R2 VmWare logical server

 

I changed TSM password on cgotst32 to allow cgotst32b to see everything.

I have been running the TSM scheduler on cgotst32 for many days. Q f
shows the information I need for restoring cgotst32 onto cgotst32b.

 

We used the restore command  -- restore -fromnaode=cgotst32

\\cgotst32\c$\* -replace=all -subdir=yes

 

We keep on receiving user action required message ---  File
'\\cgotst32\c$\' is write protected.  We select option#2 to force an
overwrite on all objects that are write protected, however, we just
receive the user action required message over, over and over with
nothing happens??

 

Thoughts on restoring a VmWare logical server??
