ITEM: BT8886L

Entries in the .remote_access in correct

Question:

Env:
  AIX 3.2.5
  sysback 3.3.3.12
  RISC 590
  Tape drives rmt0 7332, rmt9 1/4" 150mb,  
              rmt10 4mm 2gb

Desc:
  When I create a virtual device vdev0
  Then do this:

  smitty sysback
    Configuration Options
      Remote Services
        Server Options
          Add or Change Client Host Access to this Server

HOST Name of Client System            [all]
USER Name to allow                    [all]

I get F4 on this line
Tape or Virtual Devices for backups or "all"       []

I choose my virtual device vdev0  (vdev0:n:s:Sequential) 
this is how it shows up in smitty

This is how it fills the entry in

Tape or Virtual Devices for backups or "all"  [vdev0:n:s:Sequential]

This is how the /usr/lpp/sysback/.remote_access file 
looks like afterwards

+all:+all:vdev0:n:s:Sequential::

Not a major issue, but caused a few customers problems recently.

WORK AROUND:
edit the .remote_access file and changed it to this

+all:+all:vdev0::

This problem is fixed in sysback 3.3.3.13

Next Action:
  Closing with customer approval
