Hi Adai
I think the new DFM with integrated "virtual" datasets is great, the problem is that the "old" way of doing SV with SMVI involved scripting and the traditional dataset types.
I have several customers wanting to "upgrade" their SMVI backup to the new DFM style, yet we cannot do it without a baseline SV.
We have tried several things like deleting the existing dataset so that the relation was shown in external relations, we then hoped that we were able to import it into the new virtual dataset, but this wasn't possible because this can only be done using the Management Console, which does not allow editing of virtual datasets...
So are we out of luck ? Or is there a "fix" on the way ?
The baseline we could live with, but some of our customers does not have the extra space required to do this process. Some have quite long retension on their SV, and doing a baseline would involve destroying the old volume, loosing the history of backups..
If you are not allowed to share the workaround here, do you think opening a case with support would provide us with the workaround ?
Kind regards,
Heino Walther
