Hi *SMers, we are trying to implement VCB full vm backup with client v6.1.2.
We want call the VM by name, without DNS resolution. The vcbmounter commands is ok. vcbMounter -h xx.xx.xx.xx -u USER -p *** -a name:UDA14 -r s:\ -t fullvm -m nbd During the DSMC BA VM command, TSM send this command : vcbMounter -h xx.xx.xx.xx -u USER -p **** -a ipaddr:UDA14 -r "S:\fullvm\UDA14\BACKUP_CURRENT" -t fullvm ------------------------

Return code is: 1 ------------------------ Can we, with TSM, specify the -m nbd switch for backup by vmname, without dns resolution ? The "dsmc backup vm" command for a VM with DNS resolution is fine. Is the DSN Resolution mandatory for VCB Full VM Backup with TSM ? The -m nbd switch seems to be hardcoded in dsmc.exe, but I don't known if we can activate it.
