Did the problem start before you updated all your components?  Here's a
few things I would check first (not neccessarily in this order).

1.  Since the server is still v5.2 , I'd try back-revving the novell
tsm client to 5.2.3.0
2.  Check the speed/duplex settings of your NIC.  If it's at AUTO, try
forcing a speed/duplex.  If it's forced now, try setting it to AUTO
3.  Check for a newer driver for your NIC.
4.  Apply Netware 6 SP5 .
5.  Try to determine what event triggered the problems.  Some old posts
hint that it could have been installing the newer TSM client.
      Look through the dsm.opt for any entries that might have changed
(compare to older clients dsm.opt).

Guys,

Is anyone out there experiencing extremely slow backup issue's with
netware 6.x servers? Some of the larger servers are taking days to
complete
a backup. During this time the servers are running at 100%
utilization.

Environment:
Tsm server is 5.2.0 on a solaris Platform
Tsm Client is 5.3.0. Using latest Tsa's, TSAFS.NLM (6.50.14) and
SMDR.NLM (6.54.01)
Client Platform Netware 6, SP3.

I also get the following errors in the client's error log. I can't
seem to find too much info about the sessRecVerb error? Though the
Session
initializing messages are fairly self explanitory.

02/08/2005 00:10:14 sessRecvVerb: Error -50 from call to 'readRtn'.
02/08/2005 00:10:14 ANS1809W Session is lost; initializing session
reopen procedure.
02/08/2005 00:10:15 ANS1809W Session is lost; initializing session
reopen procedure.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance Cameron
