I've created a management class and added it to the dsm.opt file.
VMCTLMC VMCTL_MC
However, when I run the backups I get this error:
03/02/2015 09:27:03 ANS9388E The management class 'VMCTL_MC' specified for the
'VMCTLMC' option is invalid, or does not have a backup copy group.
03/02/2015 09:27:03 ANS1105E The management class for this file does not have a
valid backup copy group.
This file will not be backed up.
tsm: EAGLEROCK>q co vmctl vmctl_ps vmctl_mc t=b f=d

I know the management class is valid and and when I query the copy group it is
STANDARD. Now, the documentation says that it must be STANDARD but this
doesn't make much sense to me.
Thanks,
Eric

Each backup session backs up some control information, and that information is
restored for use during the next backup. (You can see the restores happening
if you watch the server during the backup, or if you look in the accounting
info.)
I'm just guessing, but I suspect that the "data unavailable on server" is
because it can't restore that control info.
Perhaps some volumes in your disk pool are offline, or the control information
has migrated off to tape?
If the latter, you need to put these keywords in the dsm.opt on your datamover:
VMMC your-mgmt-class-for-data-goes-here
VMCTLMC your-mgmt-class-for-control-info-goes-here
The control info mgmt. class should point to a small disk pool that can't
migrate to tape.

I'm trying to back up some VM's using DP for VM 7.1.1.0 and am getting an error
on some of the VM's and the backup is failing. I've asked Uncle Google and
can't find much. I would contact IBM support but I get very little help from
them as well.
02/25/2015 09:35:07 ANS9351E Data was not available on server and was skipped.
02/25/2015 09:35:07 ANS4174E Full VM backup of VMware Virtual Machine
'Hamilton' failed with RC=14 mode=Incremental Forever - Incremental, target
node name='VCENTER_COTX', data mover node name='VCENTER_COTX_DM'
02/25/2015 09:35:08
02/25/2015 09:35:08 ANS1228E Sending of object 'Hamilton' failed.
02/25/2015 09:35:08 ANS1314E File data currently unavailable on server
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
