Hello all,

 Is anyone running TSM 3.7.2 on a Netware 5.1 server with NDS 8? We are
testing this version out right now and we notice that when a backup of the
NDS tree is initiated from TSM that cache buffers are used during the
backup but not release until the backup completes. On our test server this
works fine because there are not many objects under the tree but we have
production servers that have millions of objects in the tree. Under Netware
4.11 NDS 6.10 the buffers are allocated and released as the backup runs.

 I am not a Novell support individual but I am being told by our Netware
support staff that this is potentially a major problem. I have an open
incident with IBM/Tivoli on this but I have not had any success in finding
a resolution.

 Any help that you could provide would be appreciated.
