My problem was also with Prompted nodes only.  Polling nodes ran ok as
did croned backups.

The tcp setting was the size of the Receive Pool Buffer.  IBM gave me
this query to determine if there was a problem:
  (echo "----";date; netstat -v ent1 | grep "Receive Pool Buffer" )

The "No Receive Pool Buffer Errors" line should report zero.  They had
me set the "Receive Pool Buffer Size" up to 2048 (AIX 5.1).
Unfortunately, I don't remember the command to do that.

Ok you guys had to start talking about this and now it has happened to
me. Nearly all my servers in prompt mode didn't take a backup last
night. Nothing in  the activity
log and nothing in the dsmsched.logs. I'm running server 5.1.6.4 on AIX
5.1 and clients range from 4.1.2.12 to 5.1.5.15, all Windows (NT and
2k). Most of these servers
had the MS patch installed for the blaster virus yesterday. Is this
just a coincidence??. I know its not a network problem because all my
UNIX clients where running
backups all night and those are not scheduled by TSM but by crontabs.

So David, what was the tcpip settings you had to change?

Thanks

When I had the problem, I did open a PMR and they finally tracked my
problem down to a tcp read buffer problem.  They had me adjust the tcp
values and the problem has not reoccurred.
