This is a classic description of a firewall blocking tsm from reaching
the client cad.  Unless you have a webports statement in you client
options (dsm.opt for windows), dsmcad uses a random port.  So in a
firewalled world, you have to use webports to specify the port and then
allow that port in your firewall.  dsmwebcl.log on the client shows you
at dsmcad startup time which port it is using.

Hello all,



I'm having 3 new Windwos 2008 R2 (64-bit) servers with TSM for Windows
cleitn version 6.2.2.0 installed.

The TSM clients are within a DMZ as well as the TSM servers. TSM
client
acceptor daemon is implemented to manage the TSM cleitn scheduler as
well as the WEB client. On all three machines there is MS ForeFront
2010
upgrade 2 installed which is a MS firewall, most likely replaceing the
formerly ISA product from Microsoft.

All three TSM clients are configured with 'schedule mode = prompted'.
For some unkonwn reason the TSM server is not prompting the TSM
clients
to start the backlup operations. However, when I'm restarting the TSM
CAD service the backup begins, but just this one. Later scheduled
backups do not start again as before. So it looks like only the TSM
client is able to start a session with the TSM server. We have applied
some 'inbound rules' aleady to the MS ForeFront configuration to allow
all traffic for the backup network, tcpip ports 1500-1599 and the
whole
backup network as well without any success. We have also de-installed
the MS ForeFront software again to see is this is really causing the
problem. Without MS ForeFront, no problem.

Is there anybody out there, using this or a similar environemt who had
experienced the same problems or better is abel to provide a solution
or
further debigging hints?



Thanks in advance and have nice weekend,

Rainer
