What happened is when TDP SQL is actually backing up and you run your select, then you will get the correct count. As TDP SQL runs from an NT client and you (probably) have scheduler setup on the client, then when it finishes, the scheduler recontacts the server for next schedule and the "paltform_name" will be WinNT.
You can do a "q node f=d" while a TDP SQL is running and then again after to see this in action. As has been discussed recently about verifying backups, this is another step that has to be checked several ways to get the correct result. David B.

I have lots of scheduled backups of database via TDP for SQL (v2.2) and TDP for Oracle (v2.2.0.2). The TSM server (v4.2.1.9) runs on AIX 4.3.3. My environment is: 2 AIX client 1 AIX client + 1 TDP for Oracle for AIX (on the same machine) 2 Linux86 client 7 Solaris client 2 Solaris client + 2 TDP for Oracle for SUN (on the same machine) 9 WinNT client 2 WinNT client + 2 TDP for SQL (on the same machine) I think, I have to buy: Licences for Managed System for LAN: 25 (3 AIX, 1 Linux86, 9 Solaris, 11 WinNT) Licences TDP for Oracle: 3 Licences TDP for MS SQL Server: 2 This is an extract of the "q system" output: ************************************************** *** ---> select platform_name,count(*) from nodes group by platform_name ************************************************** PLATFORM_NAME Unnamed[2] ---------------- ----------- AIX 3 Linux86 2 SUN SOLARIS 9 TDP Oracle AIX 1 TDP Oracle SUN 2 WinNT 13 The problem is: 1) I have 11 WinNT clients, not 13!!! 2) Where are the 2 TDP MSSQLV2 NT clients? This is an extract of the "q licence" Number of Managed System for LAN in use: 30 !!! I have only 25 clients !!! Number of TDP for Oracle in use: 3 The number it's right. Number of TDP for MS SQL Server in use: 2 The number is't right. Regards Nasca Paolo Cleis Technology srl Via E.
