Error description
When a user creates a scheduled task with the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager on Windows scheduler wizard for file system protection, a default task script is prompted. This script may contain an empty or incorrect path to the folder where the FlashCopy Manager on Windows software is installed. For example: Instead of the path being displayed as "...\Tivoli\FlashCopyManager", the script may erroneously point to the installation folder for the Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server component ( "...Tivoli\tsm\TDPExchange"). Recreation steps: 1. From Flashcopy Management Console - select "Protect and Recovery Data" - select "File System" 2. Click ?Automate - Change PowerShell to Command Line - Write File System command 3. Click "schedule this command" 4. Follow scheduler Wizard: - ?Defined the scheduled Task? section shows: chcp 1252 pushd . cd /d set rc=0 fcmcli <command> 2>&1 if %errorlevel% neq 0 set rc=%errorlevel% popd exit %rc%
Local fix
When defining a scheduled task to protect filesystem workloads via the FlashCopy Manager on Windows scheduling wizard, you must specify the full path to the FlashCopy Manager on Windows installation directory. By default, this path is: C:\Program Files\Tivoli\FlashCopyManager. Using the problem recreation example above, you would change the statement: cd /d to be: cd /d "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\FlashCopyManager
