I have it setup the way you mentioned bellow('schedmode prompted' and 'managedservices schedule webclient' ) and it works. If I changed to polled mode doesn't work! I guess there is an issue with the netware client, read bellow(got it from IBM) any ideas why the polled mode doesn't work? Thanks It appears that you are seeing the effects of this apar:
ERROR DESCRIPTION: TSM 5.5.0.0 Netware client backup or archive of SERVERSPECIFICINFO fails. The error also causes backups or archives of DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL to fail, because by default, serverspecificinfo is included in all-local domain backups. To reproduce the SERVERSPECIFICINFO failure: 1. Issue one of the following commands: dsmc inc serverspecificinfo dsmc sel serverspecificinfo dsmc arc serverspecificinfo Result: PrivIncrFileSpace:Received rc=1 from fioGetDirEntries: Server Specific Info: ANS1999E Incremental processing of 'Server SpecificInfo: /Server Specific Info' stopped. ANS1301E Server detected system error and backup or archive stops. To reproduce ALL-LOCAL failure: 1) Issue 'dsmc incremental all-local' Result (with local volumes VOLTR: and COMPVOL:) PrivIncrFileSpace: Received rc=1 from fioGetDirEntries: Server Specific Info: ANS1999E Incremental processing of 'VOLTR:' stopped. ANS1999E Incremental processing of 'COMPVOL:' stopped. ANS1999E Incremental processing of 'Server Specific Info: /Server Specific Info' stopped. ANS1301E Server detected system error and incremental backup stops LOCAL FIX: Exclude serverspecificinfo from all-local domain in option file: DOMAIN all-local -SERVERSPECIFICINFO and do not backup or archive serverspecificinfo until the fixing 5.5.0.1 package can be delivered. Current target: November 30, 2007 *+* Responder Page *+* PROBLEM SUMMARY: **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: The version 5.5.0.0 backup-archive client * * running on Novell NetWare. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: See ERROR DESCRIPTION * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply fixing level when available. This * * problem is currently projected to be fixed * * in level 5.5.1. Note that this is subject * * to change at the discretion of IBM. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM CONCLUSION: The problem is due to an incorrect variable intialization. The client has been fixed so that the problem no longer occurs. Note that the variable initialization problem also exists in version 5.3.2 - 5.4.1.x. The problem does not manifest itself in those versions, but the version 5.4.2 client code has been changed to include the proper variable initialization __________________________ Ramiro Ruiz, Network Specialist Information Services Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry The University of Western Ontario [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone 519.520.0760 >>> From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:Ramiro Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 11/19/2008 5:44 AM Subject: Fw: [ADSM-L] Netware client Hello Ramiro, Are you still in trouble with your netware client ? what's the netware server level ? what's the TSM client level ? can you please give details about dsm.opt file : did you add 'schedmode prompted' and 'managedservices schedule webclient' ? can you give extract from activity log about schedule not starting : does it fail to find ip address ? in which state is schedule reported : pending ? failed ? missed ? thanks Norman ----- Forwarded by Norman Bloch/FR/ReadersDigest on 19/11/2008 11:31 ----- Ramiro Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> 17/11/2008 20:52 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> To ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU cc Subject [ADSM-L] Netware client Hello, I am not sure if this is the appropriate place, but here it is; first, I am very new with TSM, I took some course a few weeks back from IBM. anyway I installed and configured TSM 5.5 on a Windows Server 2003 64 bit, I also installed the client for Netware on a server. I can run a backup manually from the server web GUI. but the scheduled backup show up on the DSMCAD screen but thy just sit there and never run, I don't even get any errors! Any ideas?
