Marc, 

If you set schedmode to polling, and you're behind a firewall, then
you'll have no chance to get a schedule : sessions have to be initiated
by server, and this means you need *PROMPTED* mode !

The manual states:

The tcpclientport option specifies a different TCP/IP port number for
the server to contact than the one that was used to make the first
server contact. If the default port or the specified port is busy, the
server attempts to use any available port. Use this option only if you
specify the prompted parameter with the schedmode option or when the
schedule command is running.

This is for Prompted not Polling.  If I have it set to Polling than this
is not an issue...

>What is 1501 used for?

ADSM QuickFacts has such info, or you can search the PDF manuals:

1501                                                         Client port
for backups (schedule).
                                                             Note that
this port exists only when the
                                                             scheduled
session is due: the client
                                                             does not
keep a port when it is waiting
                                                             for the
schedule to come around.

Marc,

I noticed you had 1581 in your note.  Did you try opening 1501?  Wasn't
sure if 1581 was a typo or not.  Also, make sure the ports are
bi-directional.

All:

I am having an issue trying to backup a client through a firewall.
I can run a manual backup from the client but cannot get the scheduled
backup to work.
I changed to Polling mode and opened firewall ports 1500 and 1581
between server and client.

Server:  TSM 5.2.2.4 on AIX 5.1
Client: TSM 5.2.2.0 on Solaris 5.8

<<dsm.sys on client:>>
SErvername XXXXXX
ERRORLOGNAME "/var/tivoli/dsmerror.log"

   TCPPort            1500
   TCPServeraddress   XXXXXXX
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE

queryschedperiod   1
managedservices    schedule webclient

<<dsmerror.log>>
Error -50 accepting inbound connection
TCP/IP received rc 4 trying to accept connection from server

Has anyone been in this situation???
