Here is one for all you *SM wizards. I asked this question of TSM
support and the answer was "duh, I don't know if you can do that". Maybe
the list participants will know better.
*SM Server1 is ADSM v3.1.2.50 running on AIX 4.2.1.
*SM Server2 is TSM 4.1.2 running on Win2000.
Fileserver1 is running on redhat linux 6.2
I need to export data from server1 to server2 but there is not enough
free disk on either server to hold the export file locally nor is there
a shared tape medium. The only shared medium is the networked
fileserver1.
On server1 I defined a devclass that points to the a directory on a nfs
mount to fileserver1.
I can export a node and its data to that devclass just fine and the
exported file now lives on fileserver1.
On server2 the tsm server runs under an account called tsmsa which has
win2000 admin authority. I use terminal services from my desktop to
login to server2 as account tsmsa. I then map a drive letter D: to
fileserver1 and I can see files on the file server as well as move and
copy, etc.
>From a browser on my desk top I get admin session with tsm server2 and
try to create a devclass pointing to a directory on the fileserver. I
get a invalid parm failure and the devclass will not define. ANR2020E
DEFINE DEVCLASS: Invalid parameter - D:/JUNKFS2.
I can get the devclass to define if I point to directory d:\ but when I
try to import or export to the new devclass the mount fails with

This happens if the file D:\84520151.EXP does or does not exist.
So two questions.
1) Can tsm 4.1.2 on win200 export/import to/from a networked filesystem?
Since ADSM on AIX can I should think that TSM on win2000 could also.
Maybe we need to implement nfs on the win2000 server and do a nfs mount
before this will work?
2) If it can, then how do I get that networked file system defined so
the tsm server can use it?
I am not a win2000 or remote file system wizard and my win2000 admin is
on vacation for a month (!) so I'm kind of stuck at the moment.
