Message-ID: <20021103032521.GA29256@gromit.dlib.vt.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline X-No-Archive: yes X-Operating-System: FreeBSD/i386 4.7-PRERELEASE User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to archive my filesystems to our TSM server, but am not having much luck at all. I wonder if anyone has had more success? (BTW, I'm running FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE #4: Mon Sep 9 12:40:17 EDT 2002.) Tivoli provide no FreeBSD TSM client. (Boo, hiss!) They do provide a Linux client (up to V5.1), and a Unixware client (up to V4.1). I tried the Linux client (using the linux_base port), with limited success. I was able to run dsmc (the command line client), and could communicate with the TSM server, but when I tried an ARCHIVE command, it just hung there doing nothing. I'm guessing that one complication with using the Linux client is that when looking up the mount points for filesystems, it would actually be rooting them at /compat/linux, and not at the "real" mount points above there (e.g., it would back up files under /compat/linux/usr instead of /usr). So, it's not clear that the Linux client could be used to archive or back up a FreeBSD system properly anyway. I also tried the Unixware V4.1 client (as I'd heard that people have had more success with that), but couldn't even get that to run. But, the client programs are dynamically linked, and I don't have the Unixware libraries, so it's no surprise it failed to start up. Has anyone had any success using TSM on FreeBSD?? If so, I'd be glad of any suggestions.
