APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When option VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT is set for a directory under a NFS
  file space, the virtual mount point is not being honored.  Files
  and directories that fall under the virtual file space are
  backed up twice, once under the virtual file space, and then a
  second time under the NFS file space.
  
  The correct behavior is for all files and directories that fall
  in the domain of the virtual file space, to be backed up one
  time under the virtual file space, and skipped under the NFS
  file space domain.
  .
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  .
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Affected client versions 6.4.x and 7.1.x.
  .
  Additional Keywords:
  NFS VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT FILESPACE FILE SPACE  TSM
  

Local fix

• Do not define virtual mount points under the NFS file space
  until the fix is available.  Files will be backed up once under
  the NFS file space.
