Hi Perpetua,

Which client version are you running? There were problems that affected
TSM OFS support in 5.2.3.x.... try the 5.2.3.11 client (which fixes these
issues), now available at
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/client
(you can navigate the rest of the way to the fix yourself).

Regards,

Andy

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