'Session lost - reestablished' errors are important, especially if
occuring repeatedly. They can extend the backup times greatly also.

We have seen session lost errors where the MAXSESSIONS values were to
low on either the TSM server or the Storage Agent.

Subject: Client return codes 4 and 8 - Can I safely ignore them?

We are currently implementing Tivoli Sotage Manager and I want the
simplest
method to check for client errors for scripting purposes...

We've had a number of return code 4 ("File not found") and return code 8
("Session lost" -> "Session reestablished") errors. These don't seem to
be
important, and I feel I can consider them to be warnings.

Are there any reasons that I may get a return code of 4 or 8 that really
is
an error which has effected the "usefulness" of the backup?

Many Thanks,
   =Adrian=
