Steve, use this link http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html and in the search box type LVSA and hit search. This search produced many documents that explain how LVSA works which may be of interest. In addition problems that have been encountered are reported as well.

LVSA looks suspiciously like the smoking gun that has been causing these machines to lock up. Actually, it appears to be lack of cooperation between LVSA and a security app daemon called ISS. If there is a "How it works" and "how to configure it in the real world" specifically for Win2003, I would be interested in locating it. All the docs I have found so far are still referencing the win2000 limitation.

TSM Server 5.2.7.1 TSM Client 5.3.4.0 Windows 2003 mix of SE/EE/R2 I have LVSA installed & configured, using f: to hold the cache files for c: I noticed that long after the backup completed, there was a 4.5gb obd.tsm file in the tsmlvsacache directory. arent these supposed to remove themselves after the backup completes? I've since lowered the cachesize from 40 to 10 to limit the size, but I still dont want them taking up room except during backups.
