Assuming netware has all the latest patches (nw65sp5, tsaup18), then I would be inclined to say try one of the tsm 5.2.x clients. Anecdotal evidence around here seems to point to weird things going on with the newer 5.3.x clients on netware.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/13/2006 3:38:16 AM >>> All, I have a unicode issue in that Netware cannot handle special unicode characters and this is only seen on large F&P servers where files are saved with unusual strings containing for example [2006], this causes the client to hang and the backup halts, I have applied all the Netware patches recommended from the README from the ftp site where I downloaded the 5.3.2.0 client from IBM, I patched it to FIX Pack 2 for 5.3 and its had no effect. Essentially its a Novell issue but they are blaming IBM and vice versa, I am sure many of you would have seen this before. Is there a work around?? Would the 5.2.4 client for Netware be better?? My TSM server is W2K3 with 5.3.2 running. Thanks for any help on this one...... Regards, Jim Bollard.
