BackBox H4.00 VTC Scripting Option

Guidelines
9 BackBox H4.00 VTC Scripting Option
• And the account configured to access the remote file server lacks the right:
"Manage auditing and security log".
The account running TSM client must have the rights below. For exact reference,
refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager documentation.
• Back up files and directories
• Restore files and directories
• Manage auditing and security logs
The right "Manage auditing and security logs" is often missing, to add it:
• Log in the Windows box acting as file server for BackBox
• Administrative Tools
• Local Security Policy
• Security Settings
• Local Policies
• User Rights assignment
Find the policy "Manage auditing and security log"; add the account under this policy.
Then restart the file server after everything is done.
Testing the completion of the command line client (dsmc)
The client command line DSMC can set the Windows error level to a non-zero value
as soon as an error occurs, even internal retries allow to reach a successful
completion of the command. Network failures are sample of errors that are ‘solved’
by retries and set a non-zero error level.
On the other side, BackBox VTC tests the script return code, and does not use any
script result of the error level is not zero.
The line “SET ERRORLEVEL 0” as last script line is a cure, which also disables the
verification of the return-code.
The actual success of a script is rather evaluated by its result on the file system: a
file to restore is present, a file to archive has been deleted by the TSM –deletefiles
option, or the Archive bit has been reset by the program BB_ArchiveBit.
