Hi,
I'm new to TSM & AIX (so new that, last month I could not spell TSM nor AIX).


I am as new to this as you are, even though on Win2K, but that shouldn,t
make too much a difference. Here is what I would do:

  So here's my dilemma.


[...]

 The new policy does not run and I receive the following message on the
TSM server.

ANR2578W Schedule DAVINCI_BACKUP_DAILY in domain
                       UNIX_SERVER_DAVINCI_DAILY for node
BACKUP_DAVINCI_DAILY
                       has missed its scheduled start up window.


on the server, run
"q sched" to see what schedules are planned.

run "q assoc" to see if the nodes you want to have are associated (even
though to me it seems like that davinci was scheduled, hence the "missed"
notification).

run "q event *domain* *schedule*" to see if the events are scheduled as
intended.

on the client, run (in dsmc) "q sched" to see if the node has picked up the
schedule provided by the server.

if i got this correctly, running this command on the client should update
the schedule for the node (here it did, iirc).

if no schedule shows up, in a next step i would check the schedmode setting
for both the client and the server - see "set schedmode" in the admin-ref
and the schedmode-line in the dsm.sys-file on the client.

on a further node, the files dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log (which have to
be defined in the dsm.sys of the client as well) might help you along.
after a succesfull connection with the server, i find the next scheduled
backup at the end of the dsmsched.log.

take all this with a grain of salt - newbie-alert! :)

hoping that this helps, and please do correct me if i went wrong somewhere,

regards, tobi


What did I miss?  Where did I go wrong?

Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to lead me through the process, or
just clear up the error of my ways.
