We have to same problem, but on our side we get hardware errors (listing
with errpt) on the server. We're running on FDDI, and get "FDDI port stuck"
errors.

Dear ADSM Experts,
I have running ADSM V 2.1.05 on an IBM 43P Server (AIX 4.1.5)
Client Version 2.1.08
I occasionally realize failing incremental backup schedules on clients in
subnets different from the server subnet.
The log file on the client shows:
03/10/1998 21:43:02 Retrying scheduled event: DAILY-INCR
03/10/1998 21:44:17 ANS4017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure
03/10/1998 21:44:17 ANS4847E Scheduled event 'DAILY-INCR' failed.  Return
code
= 1.
I do not find any corresponding error-log entries on the server or client.
There are no interface errors (fast ethernet on the server, built in
ethernet
on the client) too!
This problem never occurs with clients in the server subnet and only
occasionally happens with  clients outside!
I have any night running about 50 client backups with 0 to 2 failures of
the
above kind.
I do not have any explanation for this behavior.
Has anyone of you realized something similar?
Best regards,
Karl Molter
