Hi Mario,
sorry about a misspelling in my response.
We need to have "curly brackets" instead of "round brackets", i.e.
VIRTUALMountpoint ${USERDIR}
will do the job.

Subject: Re: altering dsm.sys right before dsmc
Hi Mario,
far back into 1998, when the nowadays TSM was called ADSM, I had a similar
problem and asked the list by the following message:
http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/ADSM-L/1998-05/msg00510.html
I can't remember who pointed me to the right syntax to solve it via the
following line in dsm.sys
VIRTUALMountpoint $(USERDIR)
whereby the "USERDIR"-environment-variable was set before dsmc was called.
Being retired now, I can't prove, wether this functionality is still
available, but I guess it will be there.
Hope this helps,
Peter

Hi all,
I have to configure a virtualmountpoint option before some backups. The
directory name, part of it, is formed by a date...and I will have to append
this
line in the dsm.sys file everytime I perform this particular backup.
Here is the script...the TSM Clent is Red Hat...
export ARCHLOG=`date +%d%m%y_backuptape.log`
export DATA=`date --date='1 day ago' +%d%m%y2200`
echo virtualm=/backup/rman/full/$DATA >>
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc i -subdir=yes
-domain="/backup/rman/full/$DATA/*" >> /backup/tsmlogs/$ARCHLOG
....my question is, is it going to work? I mean, can I actually alter the
dsm.sys file and then run the dsmc command immediately after doing
it?....usually, dsm always checks filespaces before sendin data to the TSM
Server.
Regards,
Mario
