If it were me, I wouldn't worry about loading tsands unless this is a
replica server.

Subject: tsa600.nlm memory leak on NW6 client

All,

Environment:

AIX 5.1 ML4 server with TSM 5.1.7.0 code.

Client is a NW6 machine, 2GB memory, with TSA600.NLM (6.00.05),
TSANDS.NLM
(version unknown), and SMDR.NLM (6.50.03).  Backing up via 100/full
network connection.

For reasons that I do not fully understand, the Netware admin does not
want to load TSANDS, which is apparently used only to back up the NDS.
They only wish to get certain user files.

The backups run OK manually (dsmc i), but if I "load dsmc sched" and let
the scheduler handle it (server prompted), memory usage goes through the
roof...after one night, TSA600 will be using well over 1GB, and close to
2GB on the second night.  The second night will not complete.

Is TSANDS *required*?  I'm thinking that this might be the cause for the
memory consumption that I'm seeing.

Any comments would be appreciated.

-Lloyd
