TSM Scheduler service stops by itself
I am having a problem with the TSM Scheduler of a windows server. It stops sometimes by itself in the middle of a backup of files. The weird thing is that in the same server I have a scheduled TDP SQL backup, but the scheduler service works without problem. +-- |This was sent by cyosh...@its-csi.com.pe via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +--

Inspect the dsmerror.log on the client, and the Activity Log on the TSM server for indications of cause. On a Windows box you can also check its Event Log, to see if the process is crashing, etc. Richard Sims
Re: TSM Scheduler service stops by itself
We are having problems here with scheduled backups hanging. It happened on rare occassions prior to upgrading to 5.5.1, but it began happening with great frequency on certain Windows boxes after the upgrade. W2k3 servers with SP2, Broadcom NICs with the Advanced Control Suite, and a particular microsoft hotfix, 91. Management determined that we were not going to roll back the hotfix. The workaround that we used was to deselect the Advanced Control Suite TCP Chimney setting. Typically, our Windows folks blamed TSM because everything else was working fine, while we blamed Microsoft because TSM wasn't what changed, and TSM worked fine on unaltered Windows servers. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Richard Sims Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:23 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM Scheduler service stops by itself On Feb 18, 2009, at 7:32 AM, admbackup wrote: > I am having a problem with the TSM Scheduler of a windows server. > It stops sometimes by itself in the middle of a backup of files. > The weird thing is that in the same server I have a scheduled TDP SQL > backup, but the scheduler service works without problem.

Re: TSM Scheduler service stops by itself
If you need ammo for scrapping with your Windows brethren, remind them that TSM uses no OS APIs that aren't supplied by Windows itself. If they changed something in the OS, that's what broke. -- Mark Stapleton System engineer, CDW -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Huebschman, George J.

Re: TSM Scheduler service stops by itself
When Windows 2003 SP2 hangs during backups I first verify it has patch KB948496. Having you tried blaming the network? :> Andy Huebner -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Huebschman, George J.
