Axel - The TSM API is the "media manager layer" for this Oracle DB interface, and the errno can be expected to be a TSM API error number, as documented in its manual. 2230 tells of the alleged dsm.sys file not being present, or the inclexcl file pointed to by it. I would check environment variables. If you also have the standard B/A client in place, do 'dsmc q opt' and 'dsmc q inclexcl' to assure that it can access those files as a basis: the TDP may use those, or its own files, as per environment variables.
