Re: Initial Testing and Node Registration
To all: We are currently in our testing phase, and are new to TSM. Here is our configuration Currently running TSM 5.2 on Fedore Core 3 The server starts up fine, and the server webclient works fine, only when working on the server itself. When I try to connect to the server from a Client Node, a Windows 2003 Advanced Server, I get a TCP/IP error. I have configured the port to 1521 and I make sure to put that information in. Here is our server .opt file, and the startup screne. Remeber, this is not a robust or ideal enviornment, but I believe it should work?

Re: Is client upgrading necessary at this time?
At a minimum, your main concern should be that your TSM client software level is supported with your TSM server level. In order to ease migration to new levels, client and software are supported one release up or down. By "release", I refer to the first two parts of the version number, e.g., 5.3 (Version 5, Release 3). Thus the 5.2 client is supported with a 5.1 and 5.3 server, and a 5.2 server can support a 5.1 or 5.3 client. Other examples: 4.2 server supported 4.1 and 5.1 clients; 4.2 client was supported with 4.1 and 5.1 server. The idea is that when you move from a 5.2 to 5.3 server (for example), your 5.2 clients will still work with the new 5.3 server until you can get the clients upgraded. Or if you use the 5.2 server and choose to upgrade your clients first, you can upgrade the clients to 5.3 and they will still be supported with a 5.2 server until you can get the server upgraded. While it is likely that a 4.2 (for example) client will function at least minimally with a 5.2 server, technically it is not supported, so you use at your own risk. But lots of people continue to use very backleveled clients, usually because those clients are no longer supported by IBM, but the user still has them in their environment. Caveat: 4.1 and 4.2 are no longer in service. Service for 5.1 ends today (end of September), except for S/390, which I think is in service through the first week of April, 2006. Your service agreement for TSM client and server is based on your TSM server version. The clients are considered a part of the server version that corresponds to the server that you are running. So if you are licensed for the TSM 5.1 server on AIX, then when that server goes end-of-service, so do your clients. If you are licensed for the 5.1 AIX server, but you are using 5.2 clients on some machines, you will no longer be able to get technical support from IBM for those clients once your server version (at 5.1) goes end of service. With regard to the "one level back" support, you will no longer be able to get support for the back-leveled component once that component goes end-of-service, even if your server version is still in service. Thus if you are licensed for the TSM 5.2 server for Windows, you will not be able to receive support for your 5.1 clients. I realize that a lot of this seems pretty complicated, but conceptually it's fairly simple. The upshot is that IBM supports a one-release difference between client and server as long as your server and client versions have not yet reached end-of-service. And *your* support from IBM is based on the version of the TSM *server* you are running. Note that there are some exceptions to the above rules. For example, the TSM 5.2 server shipped support for Windows NT 4.0 clients at the 5.1 client level. Since this client was shipped with the 5.2 server, IBM will continue to support this client (but not other 5.1 clients) until TSM 5.2 goes out of service. Only 5.2 server licensees will receive support. Support for NT 4.0 clients will end when 5.2 goes out of service, though that date has not yet been announced as far as I know. So having said all of that, you are still encouraged, in general, to get your client and server versions as up to date as possible, with the client at the same release as the server. For example, the 5.2 client with 5.3 server is supported primarily for migration purposes; you should be moving forward with a plan to migrate your clients to the same server version. In general, I'd advise upgrading your server first, then your clients. Beyond that, your need to upgrade should be based on the impact of defects that are fixed in later client fix packs (5.2.2, 5.2.3, etc.) and interim fixes (5.2.2.1, 5.2.2.4, etc.). In your case, since your NetWare clients are at 5.2 and your server is at 5.3, I'd recommend getting the most current 5.3 NetWare client. But you do not need to try to match your client version to the server based on the third and fourth parts of the version. That is, matching the "5.3" part is sufficient. You don't need to worry about matching beyond that. As for client and server requirements, see the URL in my sig, and from that page (which I recommend bookmarking), and look for the "server requirements" and "client requirements" links. I hope this makes some sense... for the most part, it's really not as complicated as the write-up would make you think.

Is client upgrading necessary at this time?
Hello, We currently have all but 1 novell TSM clients running 5.2.2 all running fine although one backup is still running slow and needs tuning is there any reason that I would need to upgrade to a higher level client? I believe I read in one of the TSM manuals that is helpful to keep the clients as close as possible to the TSM server level. Our TSM server is currently at 5.3.1.4, Other than that if everything is running ok is there any reason to upgrade? Also, I know there is a minimum requirements for clients page can someone email me the link. AIX RS/6000 Novell clients 5.2.2 TSM version 5.3.1.4 Thanks in advance!

Solve, no. Get around, yes. TSM checks characters in filenames against the current locale. The filename quoted looks like UTF-8 to me, so you should set the locale to UTF-8 before starting the client. For example, my startup script for the TSM scheduler contains: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; export LC_CTYPE In your case LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 ; export LC_CTYPE might be appropriate, but make sure that this locale is known. "locale -a" lists all known locales. A word of warning: if you have filenames containing characters from different locales, you will have a problem anyway. Which is why I find this particular TSM design, well, questionable. A Unix filename can contain (nearly) every of the 256 possible one byte characters. A backup system should accept all of them. In my opinion, the locale is for the user interaction, not for system internals. On the other hand, I think I understand why the TSM client behaves this way. The whole locale concept breaks down when you assign meaning to filenames, simply because a file called "äöü" in iso-8859-1 will seem to have a different name if looked at with locale set to iso-8859-2.
