One thing I noticed in your post is that you are running the 4.2 client on a
Netware 4.11 server. It is my understanding that the 4.2.x client only runs
on Netware 4.2 & up. This is from the readme:
Software Requirements
---------------------
- Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive, API and Web Client:
- Novell NetWare 4.20, 5.10
I have not seen this problem with my Netware 5.1 servers running SP2 or 3.
But I do seem to have a problem with backup performance problems with my
largest 4.11 SP9 server. But I have enough other problems backing up my
Netware 5.1 servers....

Subject: NetWare and High Processor Utilization
I have noticed that when TSM starts backing up, that the processor(s) will
max out on my NetWare servers (both 5.1 SP3 and 4.11 SP9). Are there any
setting that can reduce the processor utilization? Maybe something in the
DSM.OPT file? Some of these are even dual processor and they still get up
there (80-90%). It only last during the backup (1/2 to 1 hour) but I cannot
afford the performance hit with people on the server. My configuration is
TSM server is AIX with TSM version 4.2.1 and my NW client is 4.2.1.0. The
DSM.OPT file has no special settings in it (default). Also I have increased
the server parameters quit a bit (cache buffers and packet buffers). Any
help is appreciated.
