You're not crazy. I'm seeing it too. I only had one SP5 server and I've
just upped the client on it from 5.2.3 to 5.3.2 and it will not load on
boot.

Version 5.03.02 Sunday, September 18, 2005

Module DSMCAD.NLM load status OK

ANS1398E Initialization functions cannot open one of the Tivoli Storage
Manager
logs or a related file: \SYS:/TIVOLI/TSM/CLIENT/BA/dsmerror.log. errno
= 6, Perm
ission denied

Module DSMCAD is NOT loaded.

Initialization failure. Check TSM error log for more information.

ANS1520E Failure writing to the Tivoli Storage Manager error log: errno
= 6, Per
mission denied

That's the last thing autoexec.ncf with a delay of 5 right before it.
The install went fine and the client, API, and books show up as
installed in nwconfig. The CAD will load after the server is fully
booted. It could possibly be a Novell bug as they may have changed some
of the end-stage loading sequences. My purely subjective sense is that
Tomcat is loading later for example. Going back to 5.2.3 means things
work just fine

Good luck with IBM and could you let us know if they find the bug?

Not an install problem since dsmcad loads fine from command prompt,
just
not autoexec.ncf

I believe the problem is that when dsmcad looks for the default
dsm.opt
file it is looking in the wrong place (
\SYS:TIVOLI/TSM/CLIENT/BA/dsm.opt instead of
<SERVERNAME>\SYS:TIVOLI/TSM/CLIENT/BA/dsm.opt )

The 5.2.x client does not have this problem, just the 5.3.x client. I
will open up a bug report with IBM since I can duplicate this at will.
Just installed a basic Netware 6.5 server and applied sp5. This bug
shows up right away which is why I am very surprised that nobody else
has run across it.
