Hi All,

 

I'm trying to add a DataDomain DD530 (running DDR 4.5.2.5-76716) to a
Windows (2003 SP2) TSM Server (5.5.1.0). I can add a CIFS share from the
DD530 without problems and also create maps/folders and files on it from
Windows.

 

When I issue the following command from TSM:

 

DEF DEVC DD_CLASS DEVT=FILE MAXCAP=200G DIR=K:\DDPool (K: being the
mapped CIFS share)

 

I get the following error:

 

ANR8971E Unable to validate the directory name K:\DDPOOL for DEFINE
DEVCLASS command.

ANR8366E Define Devclass: Invalid value for DIRECTORY parameter.

 

I also tried the UNC path (\\DD530\backup\DDPool
<file:///\\DD530\backup\DDPool> ) instead, but with the same results.

 

I can use local disks from the TSM Server just fine for the FILE class
(e.g. like C: or D:).

 

Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards,
