In the case of a crash, it is doubtful that the TSM logs will show you
anything useful. When the server crashes, what information is displayed or
logged from the crash itself (not logged by TSM, but by the OS)? That is
what you need to look at to start diagnosing. I haven't worked with
NetWare in years, but I would think you'd get information showing which
NLM caused the exception, some kind of exception code, etc. You can try
searching the IBM web site (http://www.ibm.com) or the Novell web site to
see if there are any known problems that match the symptoms. If that
yields nothing, then I think a call to IBM technical support is in order.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
