Subject: tcpip failure interrupts backup @ approx. same # of files

Sun OS Client version is: Version 2, Release 1, Level 0.7
MVS Server Version 3, Release 1, Level 1.3

No new client filesystems were added or changed.  In fact no changes to adsm or
the operation system occurred lately.  It is a unix development box.  Recently a
job has gone out of control and placed about ~20,000 small files in a backed up
directory.   This should not cause adsm problems.

An apparent tcpip failure is interrupting a backup at approximately the same
place most nights.  Is there a possibility that this problem is related to
"small file aggregation" on the version 3 server?  (with a ver 2 client?) Can
anyone offer any suggestions?

Here is a 5 day history:

Last night failed 3 times at 105,000
Previous failed 3 times at 103,500
Previous failed 3 times at 103,500
Previous Successful
Previous failed 3 times at 103,500

Explanation:  An attempt to connect to the server using TCP/IP communications
failed. This error can occur if the LAN connection went down or if your system
administrator canceled a backup operation.

System Action:  Session rejected.  Processing stopped.

User Response:  Retry the operation, or wait until the server comes back up and
retry the operation.  If the problem continues, see your system administrator
for further help"
