Rick, I did activate the policy set. It appears I'm doing something else wrong because the CAD won't even start after I put the VMMC and VMCTLMC options in the dsm.opt file.
I noticed on your copy destinations you have a VMPOOL_CTL and VMPOOL_DATA. Is the VMPOOL_DATA where you are copying the actual VM backups? Thanks Eric McWilliams www.medsynergies.com -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Rick Saylor Sent: Monday, March 02, 2015 3:46 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] ANS4174E error Did you activate the policyset? I recently struggled with this problem too. Setting up and configuring TSM/VE is confusing. I've included the output from my domain, policysets, mgmtclass and copy groups. I hope it will help you figure out what is missing.
