We have the following config:

TSM Server 3.7.4.0 on AIX 4.3.3

Netware Client 4.1.0.0 on Netware 5.0 SP5
Hardware:  
IBM Netfinity 7000, model 8651-RM0
768 MB RAM
IBM ServeRAID II, 6 - 9GB HD's, RAID5 w/HS

We Use TCPIP commmethod.

Partial output of VOLUME command:
Mounted Volumes      Name Spaces                                 Flags
SYS                           DOS, LONG                                    Cp Sa
VOL1                         DOS, MAC, NFS, LONG                 NSS

This client was on 3.7.2.11 of TSM and had the same problem.

Doing an INC backup on a daily prompted schedule it will abend about every 2nd 
or 3rd day.  Below is one of the Abend log entries.  The abend is always the 
same.  I am fairly new here and have started working out existing problems, 
like this one.

This Client is working as a file server.  It is backing up VOL1:/users when it 
abends.  It appears to always to abend in the S or T area (User names 
alphabetically).  At this point it has examined about 400,000 files.

I did a SEL backup with just one users directory that seemd to have a problem.  
It abended after about 7,000 files as follows:
―------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal File  - 10,278,912  
VOL1:/Users/TSANDERS/remdrept/RemedyLinkForPalm/Normal File  - 10,278,912

(TSA500.NLM  5.3  313) A file cannot be read.

I then did a SEL narrowing directory path smaller and it worked without I then 
did a SEL narrowing directory path smaller and it worked without error.  I did 
search of Tivoli Knowledge Base on TSA500 and several other searches and one 
TSA500 entry was sort of like ours but solution we have already implemented.

A disk scan has been done by our Netware Admin and had no problem.  We have 
other Netware boxes with 3.1 amd 3.7 clients and they work without error.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
