It would certainly help to see some more specifics. For example, the
dsmsched.log file for one of the clients in question that did not kick off
when expected, just to verify that, for sure, it is using prompted
scheduling; and the activity log from the scheduled start time and on, to
see what the server was doing, as well as other things like the client
dsm.opt file for the aforementioned client, and the client option set
definition for that client.

Server-side randomization has no effect on prompted scheduling.

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

I'm trying to remember what it is about a backup schedule that, even

though

scheduled for say 8PM, does not kick off right away, nodes show pending

for

some time. I've been comparing the 5.2 and 5.3 server settings but can't
find any obvious differences, yet the 5.2 server kicks off each schedule
right at the specific time whereas the 5.3 server I'm putting up does

not.

I have a clopt set that has schedmode as prompted, which is the same on

both

servers and scheduling modes is set to any, same on both servers.



What am I missing that I thought I'd taken care of? I'd actually prefer

to

have these guys start right away.



Thanks,
