Re: 4.1 client for Windows
Theoretically the 4.1 client might run on an ADSM 3.1 server, but such a configuration is UNSUPPORTED. This means that if you try to run the 4.1 client with a 3.1 server, it might work, but you do so at your own risk!!! Translation: Don't do it! Sure, now you tell me! I have not seen a problem , yet.

Re: 4.1 client for Windows
My apologies when I sound negative, but why should be bother to test/try-out out the TSM 4.1 client, when the distribution package is placed on the FTP server untested? This does not give me a good feeling! I think I speak for a Erik, this isn't something new, I'm afraid. I have seen untested (read: not working at all) AIX-clients and SGI-clients a couple of times in the passed years. Which is even more worse. And not to speak of all the (AIX) ADSM-servers with major bugs. Cheers, Henk.

Hi *SM-ers! My apologies when I sound negative, but why should be bother to test/try-out out the TSM 4.1 client, when the distribution package is placed on the FTP server untested? This does not give me a good feeling! I think I speak for a lot of other people on this list when I say that testing leaves a lot to be desired lately. As a matter of fact this has been discussed here not so long ago. I believe it had to do with the quality of the 3.1.07 Windows client and the 3.1.2.50 AIX server.

Re: 4.1 client for Windows
I have to agree with this; so many of the failures seem to show up within a day or so of real-world use. I can appreciate that the TSM staff may not have access to all the fancy hardware, but you'd think they could at least beat the AIX client/server code heavily before releasing it. For that matter, I'd think that the TSM development/test group would have some kind of arrangement with the IBM Business Recovery Services unit (the D/R services side of IBM) for joint hardware acquisition and use. OTOH, maybe I'm just showing my age . . .

Re: 4.1 client for Windows
Hm, not for me... WinZip complains about 524 bytes missing. Now for the classic question: Did you FTP it in Binary form? (That's the standard problem in situations like these. And no one reporting the problem has yet specified how they performed the download.) Richard Sims, BU

Hi Richard! Yes I did. The internal filestructure looks fine to WinZip, but you cannot extract it.

Re: 4.1 client for Windows
I used the directions from the file TSM410C_WINDOWS_README_FTP.htm. Here is the output of the bat file: D:\ADSM\Other\NTCLIENT 4.1TSM410C_WIN.BAT d:\temp --- Extracting file #1 of 1 --- PKSFX CLI for Windows 95/NT Copyright 1989-1998 PKWARE Inc. All Rights Reserved Error: PKSFX CLI for Windows 95/NT cannot be run in DOS mode. - The extract has completed. To begin the installation, switch to the directory you specified when you ran this command (d:\temp), then change into the following directory: TSMCLI\WIN32\BACLIENT\DISK1 From there, run the SETUP.EXE program to begin the installation. Unfortunately there is nothing in my Temp directory. I've tried it with other switches as specified in the readme with the same results.

Re: 4.1 client for Windows
I concur, it seems to be hosed. I downloaded via HTTP. Just trying to run it, I get the same error as first reported (CLIDOS). When I tried to repair it with ZIPMAGIC, it has length errors with most of the contents. So I just delete it.

Re: 4.1 client for Windows
Can I run this client if my ADSM server is still at ADSM and hasn't been moved to TSM yet ? Or is this only for environments running TSM on the server as well ? Mike - I can't say specifically. But historically, the product has allowed using mixes of old and new clients and servers. The one prevailing condition is that once you advance your client level, you are committed to it because of the advanced content of the new backups. Richard Sims, BU
Re: 4.1 client for Windows
At the beginning of this year my company upgraded to TSM 3.7. Prior to that we where runing ADSM 1.0 for OS/2. The client software on our NT Servers was TSM 3.0. Worked just fine.
