On a related note, I've been trying to get to ftp.software.ibm.com all day
to pick up the current Win2K client. The site seems to be down.

Given that this seems to be THE site for code fixes, problem reports, and
device drivers -- WHY isn't it a 24 X 7 HA cluster or linux cluster????

(I had to get a version of Sdd on Sunday, 4/27 for an upgrade during a tight
window .... and ftp.software.ibm.com was down for maintenance)

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.


The problem is that TSM depends on the netdb module, but will not auto-load
it if not present.  In the past, other modules automatically loaded the
netdb module, so it was already loaded.  With SP3, Novell modules no longer
have the same netdb dependencies, so it generally doesn't get loaded
anymore.  The Tivoli dsmcad module DOES require netdb, but as I stated will
not load it automatically if not present.  It appears that it just assumes
it will be there, since it has been in the past.  The result is the
"unresolved" error message that you're seeing.  Unless IBM fixes the dsmcad
module to load netdb if not already loaded, you will need to load it
manually before loading dsmcad.  In my autoexec.ncf, I use the following
three lines:

search add sys:tivoli\tsm\client\ba
netdb
dsmcad

Has anybody tried to running the 5.1.5.15 client on a Netware 6 SP3 node?
One of my nodes was upgraded from Netware 6 SP2 to SP3 last night.  Now when
we try to load dsmcad it says unresolved on the console.  The TSA600.nlm is
loaded & sys:tivoli\tsm\client\ba is added to the search path.  I also get
the same error when I try to load dsmc. I am running TSM 5.1.1.6 on AIX
4.3.3.
