The 4.2.x client is a memory hog.  Watch Directory Cache Buffers closely.
You will need to add memory I can just about put money on that.  The TSA
version that I have found to work is in TSA5UP5.  TSA5UP6 does not work with
TSM.  I have downloaded UP7 but not tested it yet.

        Subject:        TSM 4.2.1.2 and Novell client 4.2.1.0 Problems !

        Hi to all,

        we upgraded our ADSM 3.1.2.20 to TSM 4.2.1.2 last saturday.
Everything went
        fine and most of the clients ( UNIXs, W2K, WinNT, TDP SAP,TDP
MSSQL,TDP
        ORACLE , API) are working ok.

        But we have a problem ( like so often ) with our 6 Novell
Fileservers.

        After the upgrade filename conversion to "Long Filenames" should
happen.
        This worked only for some fs and caused a lot of problems (
including a
        verrry long backup time ). So we decided to rename most of the
        novell-fs-volumes in the TSM server and to start with new
incremental and
        new novell tsm-clients from the scratch.

        We installed 4.2.1.0 Novell TSM client on all fileservers and
checked the
        TSA500.NLM TSANDS.NLM SMDR.NLM and CLIB according to the README.

        So this is our environment :

        TSM SERVER:
        AIX 4.3.3 ML 09
        TSM 4.2.1.2

        NOVELL CLIENT:
        Novell 5.1 SP3
        TSM client 4.2.1

        The problems we still have:

        We are getting the "File not found" error on web-client backups and
the
        "Directory not found" error on dsmc sched backups.

        I think it has to do with the NLMs above.

        Which versions (dates) of the NLMs do I need to produce error-free
backup
        results from webclient as well as from the dsmc scheduler ????

        Thanks for any help

        herfried
