Trying to intergrate VCB with TSM and I've run into an issue which I'm hoping someone can help me resolve.
Let me start off by saying that I am very confident that VCB is functioning correctly because the vcbMounter -h {virtual center} -u -p -a ipaddr: -r -t file command does exactly what it is supposed to. I'm also very confident that TSM is functioning correctly because I cam able to backup and restore the VCB Proxy server. The problem is that I cannot get TSM to invoke VCB automatically at the start of a scheduled backup.
I am currently using the "IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.4 & 5.5 Technical Guide" as my reference point and I have followed the steps up to page 337. On page 338 it reads in step 1 "We run the dsmc backup vm command from the VCB proxy." However, this is where my problem starts.
The exact error message is "Executing Operating System command or script: vcbMounter -h 10.50.201.51 -u vRanger -p **** -a ipaddr:stjh0331 -r C:\mnt\tsmvmbackup\filelevel\stjh0331 -t file 'vcbMounter' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Finished command. Return code is: 1 ANS9265E Failure mounting Virtual Machine 'stjh0331' with vcbMounter command. RC=1 ANS9264E Incremental backup of Virtual Machine 'stjh0331' failed with RC 1"
I think the problem is related to the -a ipaddr: section because if I manually type the command using the actual IP address it will work. However, I do not know where or which file needs to be edited to make this change from within TSM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
