Our TSM Guys are now happy with the configuration of the BEX macro, and have run it to prepare our TSM environment. I've configured BE11D with the correct Server name and port for TSM, and can see the TSM device under "Stand-Alone Drives". However, any jobs directed to this device stay with the status "Queued" for over 24 hours (i've cancelled after this point). No communication between BE11D and the TSM Server is apparent during this period.
On the Server that BE11D is installed upon, we have a TSM Client installation, which is able to see the server and send Backup Jobs etc, and all works fine. The only log file i can find for BE11D that updates during any period of (possible) TSM use, is called adamm.log under \Symantec\Backup Exec\Logs. A point for concern is the error >>
[4164] 07/03/07 16:44:13.965 Changer InitializeDevice() failed - ERROR = 0x00000006 (ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE)
<<
to which i've not been able to fine an answer to.
Obviosuly BE11D has some issue loading the device drivers for TSM, as i would expect to see a TSM Device under "Robotic Libraries" in Devices if all is running successfully.
Any pointers to help me resolve this issue would be greatly received, as it would be fantastic to get Exchange Backups done in a one step operation, rather than BE11D > Backup-to-disk folder > TSM Client > TSM Library.
Kind regards
Adrian
