We ran into EXACT same problem yesterday.   Increasing the number available
connections for the TSM/Novell ID in Nwadmin fixed it for us.   We had an
upgrade about a week ago, increasing number of client threads from 2 to 6,
which took up more Netware connections, causing this error message!

Subject:  Netware backups with 4.1.x ... help me ... I'm drowning!!


Hello group,

I am about ready to give up ... we have upgraded our Netware 5.x servers
to either 4.1.1 or 4.1.2.  It is not a pretty site.  On both our
production NDS tree and our test NDS tree we are experiencing the
following problem.  I have to say I am at a loss.  I see nothing wrong
with the TSM install and config.  The Netware boys assure me I should
have no problems logging into the tree ... yet, here I sit writing this
note.

Once I receive this error message, I am prompted for a login to the tree
and can login successfully with the same id & pw.  I have some some
references to this same problem in past years but nothing recently.
Any, and I mean any suggestions could result in a free set of beers next
time that individual happens to be in the vicinity of Vancouver or I am
in their vicinity ... or, I suppose if we both happen to be in another
vicinity.  Anybody from ADSM/TSM support or developement ... any
thoughts?  As you can tell from my note, I am a poor, rattled and
desperate soul.  Help me!

Oh yes, I have tried all sorts of different flavors of SMDR, TSA500,
TSANDS ... all with this same story.  You can reach me at the top of the
Port Mann bridge ... I'm gonna jump, this time I really mean it! (ok ...
I'm only kidding but I COULD change my mind)
