MAC OS X question
I just received a call from a user who's setting up a MAC OSX server. I told him that TSM doesn't really care about the function of the machine, it's still a client. But he'll feel better if anyone out there may have some feedback on how well the client works on large systems, how well the scheduler works, any obvious problems?
Re: MAC OS X question
I would be careful recommending TSM for OSX. I am having problems getting the TSM 5.1 Scheduler to work properly on a Mac running OS X. I had previously been running a lower version under OS 9 and I believe I have followed all the installation instructions for the new version. When I start the TSM Mac X Scheduler Daemon it seems to initiate the TSM Scheduler (not the TSM Mac X Scheduler). This then pops up occasionally but never seems to initiate a backup. If I start TSM Mac X Scheduler directly, it initially bounces in the dock and then it starts TSM Scheduler (once then then ran and did a backup but now it just quits as soon as I enter the login info. Is this a problem with permissions? I am logged in to an administrator account. -Eric Amis On 4/26/02 12:06 PM, "Fred Johanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just received a call from a user who's setting up a MAC OSX server.

Hi Eric, Please contact IBM support for assistance on this. This is most likely something that can't be debugged on this forum.

Re: MAC OS X question
My user reports the same problem. He's doing manual backups in the meantime.

Re: MAC OS X question
I see similar problems. Since I had seen few comments like this about TSM Scheduler on Mac OS X, I figured my problem was my ignorance of the Mac environment in general, and OS X in particular. I have an iMac where I installed OS X. I removed all the TSM client stuff from the OS 9 environment. Installed TSM 5.1, which comes with the OS 9 Backup Client and Scheduler. Placed TSM Mac X Scheduler Daemon in System Preferences Personal Login Items, as instructed. This causes the TSM OS 9 Scheduler to start. I can see it in the Dock. It fails however, with an error, to the effect not to run a Classic Application in OS X environment. So I trash all the TSM OS 9 Backup Client and Scheduler applications, and now the OS X Scheduler does nothing. I try to start it, it tries, but does nothing. Anyway, I know there are some universities out there who have been clamoring for the OS X client, and I wonder what I am doing wrong, since they have not chimed in on this issue, and must be happily supplying the OS X client to their customers.
