This error occurs when the journal daemon process attempts to send a response on a named pipe provided by a backup client process and the pipe no longer exists or isn't valid.
This can happen if the backup process/session ends or closes the pipe before the journal daemon sends or is finished sending the response or in some cases when the journal daemon is shutting down and cleaning up resources. By itself the error is innocuous but I understand it is annoying to see error messages in the log which can't be explained. Hope this helps ....

TSM Client is 5.1.5.2, server is 5.1.5.4. 10-02-2002 09:20:05 NpOpen : Named pipe error connecting to server WaitOnPipe failed. NpOpen: call failed with return code:121 pipe name \\.\pipe\jnl I see there was a similar thread last week ( G.Gill and C.Magura )and wondered if you guys got any further with it. We have a few clients at the above levels using journaling but only 1 seems to be giving the pipe problem. TIA Chris _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
