Hello all,

I try to made an archive of my ESX machines, but it doesn't work!!!

To make my archives i installed the tsm client on my ESX server and my
dsm.sys looks like this:

SErvername  server1
        COMMmethod              TCPip
        TCPPort                 1500
        TCPServeraddress        srvtsm
        Httpport                1581
        Tcpclientaddress        vmserver
        Tcpclientport           1501
        nodename                vmserv3
        schedmode               prompted
        passwordaccess          generate

        Schedlogretention       7 d
        Errorlogretention       7 d
        PRESCHEDULECMD  "sh /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/save_esx.sh"


include.archive /vmfs/volumes/vmserv3:storage1/.../*


My script to save my Virtual Machine looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

rm -rf /vmfs/volumes/vmserv3:storage1/*

# disaster recovery

LISTEMACHINEPROD="dns1 dns2"

for MACHINEPROD in $LISTEMACHINEPROD ; do
  vcbMounter -a ipaddr:$MACHINEPROD -r
/vmfs/volumes/vmserv3:storage1/$MACHINEPROD
done

And to made a test i defined a client action like this:

def clientaction vmserv3 action=a Options="-subdir=yes -archmc=MC_ESX"
objects="/vmfs/volumes/vmserv3:storage1/"

But the schedule don't archive the sub directory's in
/vmfs/volumes/vmserv3:storage1/

if i look into /vmfs/volumes/477e0444-24ccafd8-3361-0019b9ed5bb1/  i
have my 2 directory's created by the save_esx.sh script.

But on my dsmsched.log i have this:

02/11/2008 14:50:26 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN
