IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

FMY5961E

The parameters /BACKUPMETHOD or /BACKUPDESTINATION or both are invalid when performing data protection operations using a FlashCopy Manager virtual server.

Explanation

Data protection commands default to /BACKUPMETHOD=VSS and /BACKUPDESTINATION=LOCAL when performed against a FlashCopy Manager virtual server. The FlashCopy Manager supports no other values for these parameters. As a result it is no longer necessary to specify these parameters. For compatibility with other products values for /BACKUPMETHOD and /BACKUPDESTINATION can be specified as long as they are set to their only valid values. This means that /BACKUPMETHOD can only be set to VSS and /BACKUPDESTINATION can only be set to LOCAL.

System action

The operation stops.

User response

Retry the command removing the /BACKUPDESTINATION and /BACKUPMETHOD parameters.
