This log message (Journal reset at client's request) means that the backup client has requested the journal
daemon to reset (invalidate) a journal because it has determined that the journal "lacks integrity" for one of
several reasons.

I have written a section for the TSM 5.3 Client Problem Determination Guide which (among other things)
documents reasons why this may happen.

Hopefully the attached text file will help explain this and other common jbb problems and issues.

If this doesn't answer your questions please post to the forum again or email me directly.

Good Evening -

We have implemented journaling on our active/active MS cluster. We used
version 5.3 as this version was developed to support it.  Our TSM server is
Solaris 8 running 5.2.4. This is a 4 node cluster with a total of 12 virtual
nodes spread across the 4 nodes.

However, sometimes the journal works and sometimes we receive the following
message in the beginning of a backup and then of course, it does the normal
incremental. We do see in the event viewer where the backup gets done, it
says it validated and marked the journal for that drive and that it will use
it on the next backup. However, when the next backup starts, sometimes we
receive the following and thus, the cycle starts again.  However, on dates
like the 15th through the 19th, we were fine.  The 14th was the same as the
below.

I do have an open ticket it, but I figured I would throw this out there to
see if anyone has any insight.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
