We are having great problems backup up lab image files that are 8+ Gbytes in size from a Netware server. I have tried various versions of TSM. The Netware support guys have installed various version of TSAUP ... the current versions we are trying are dated from June of 2004 for both TSAFS and SMDR. They have applied the latest patches to the Netware 6 server, NSS modules have been updated.
Yet, when we try backup the 8+ Gbyte files we end up backing up the first 4 Gbytes and that is it. I cannot help thinking that somewhere there is something using a 32 bit integer (4 Gbyte limit = 4 ** 32). If anybody out there backing up a file larger than 4 Gbytes. If yes, I would certainly like to hear from you. Any TSM support people that read this .. please send me an email. It is getting more than a bit frustrating. If I need to include more info, please let me know. Based on the docs, it seems like this should work. Take care, Peter
