BCV masking question
We are trying to set up BCVs for several W2003 hosts for backup. The application doing the backup had us set up bcv and establish but this was done thru a networker storage node..the symmir command returns everything fine for the device group..however the app wants to do split from the host...timefinder is licensed there but symmir says device group not found...do the bcvs need to be mapped and masked to the hosts as well as the storage node to do this?
No Events found!

Device groups are host dependant, so if you have Solutions Enabler deployed on multiple hosts that need to performa functions on the same group of devices you will need to set up the group on each host that requires access to the group.
There is a way around this using something called "GNS" (someone correct me if I have the wrong acronym here)... I can't tell you much about it because I've never used it, but apparently it allows you to propagate device groups to different hosts in your environment without recreating them. Hopefully someone else can tell you more about it.
Or, if I'm completely off base with your issue, please clarify the situation.

symdg export yourdg -f yourfilename
symdg import yourdg -f yourfilename
But it is all in your preferred language syntax. In English, my syntax makes more sense to me, but other languages often use different default syntax so other things make more sense.
They both get the job done, so whichever one makes more sense to the end user will work best (so they know what they were trying to do when they come back to it in 6 months) right?

I don't know about anyone else, but it takes me longer to get to the spell check and then actually post something (not even counting the time it takes to formulate an answer and type it) than it takes "Stefano" to have a posted reply.
And even worse... most of the time he's right
