I had to put each Novell 4.11 server in a separate class because of
multistreaming. The servers had different volume names configured
therefore I had to put in a separate class.  I also had a separate issue
with my 4.11 server's abending on startup.  The issue was "not" a Novell
one, I had all the latest Novell NLM's.   What finally solved the abend
issue was using the Netbackup NLM's in nb_341_3.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Novell issue

I have had to create a seperate class for each and every Novell server
in my datacenter.  The reason is that if all of them are in the same
class, when it fires up several of them abend.  If they are in a
seperate class they do not.  My Novell admins are saying it's because
the backups start at the same time, causing NDS issues because the
backup user logs into all the machines at the same time.

2 things then:

1) Can anyone out there with Novell and NBU experience confirm this is
the case?  I want to make sure it's not just because I'm on an ancient
burial ground.

2) Is there a way to have clients in the same class start at different
times?  (I don't think so but I have to ask)

These guys said they had the same problem with Backup Exec so it seems a
99% probability it's a Novell problem and not an NBU one.

Thanks.
