IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

FMV2842E

TSM for Virtual Environments detected an error with the createsnap: keyword. createsnap:yes is specified while also specifying vmsnapname:VMWare Snapshot Name.

Explanation

While parsing the Input File for FlashCopy® Manager for VMWare offload backup, an error condition was detected with VM Ware snapshot handling. Specifying a VMWare Snapshot name while specifying createsnap:yes is not allowed.

System action

The operation cannot continue without specifying the correct createsnap: and vmsnapname: combination.

User response

This is a result of the -I Inputfile containing conflicting input for createsnap: and vmsnapname: keywords. If you intend to have TSM for Virtual Environments use a VMWare Snapshot created by FlashCopy Manager then specify createsnap:no with a valid VMWare Snapshot for the vmsnapname: keyword.
