Well, I figured out what my problem was. In my dsm.opt file I hardcode the path to my dsmerror and dsmsched logs. We put them at C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM instead of letting them go to the \baclient\ folder. Well, when I started the client for the image itself it was writing the log files to the local C:\ thus stopping TSM from being able to get a lock on it.
Luc, can you check to see if this might have also been your problem. Commenting out the dsmsched and dsmerror lines in my dsm.opt is all I had to do to get things working. Make sure you check for tracefile as well. Even though this was really my own fault I'd still like to respectully request that a small note be made in the WinPE doc. I don't want to open up the thread about who should be reading it and what their level of expertise should be. I agree with IBM's stance on that. Still, I'd like to request a note just the same. While I'm requesting updates to the doc nother thing that I have found quite usefull with both these procedures and ASR is to first use regedit to determine what value is changed when setting your NIC to 100 Full. This way prior to performing a backup or restore in WinPE or restore with ASR I first run regedit and set the value from Auto Auto to 100 Full. As you can image this greatly speeds up the time for recovery when using 10/100 NIC's. As an example my IBM Nefinity Ethernet card has a string value called "SpeedDuplex" that when set to 0 is Auto Auto and when set to 4 is 100 Full. . TSM_User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Andy, I downloaded and tried many of the sysinternal programs. In my output below you will see a "dir" command where I list them. Only two of them ran in the WinPE environment. "DiskMon" launched its GUI without any errors but it was blank. "ListDlls" is a command line program which did run. The output from it is quite long. Below is a screen shot of everything I did starting with the command. I also ran "set" to show you what environment variables were run. I had previousely tried this process on a server that had a Win2K and Win2K3 OS. Today I tried it on a laptop that had a WinXP installation. Of course the version of the OS shouldn't matter in the least when you are in the offline WinPE shell. I tried it on an IBM Thinkpad which I didn't need to use "F6" to load any specific device drivers for. I wanted to rule out the RAID drivers as being the cause.
