Hi

 

TSM Server v5.4.0

Windows TSM Clients - various

 

Having a strange problem here. Every few days, the backups on the TSM
server run a lot longer than usual (often 30 backups overrun), but
looking at the stats afterwards, backup no more data than usual. 

 

Have looked at a typical client and on a backup that normally takes max
2 hrs, inspecting c450,000 files. it has been running for 9 hrs - have
got the schedlog open and i see this:

03/28/2008 00:16:33 Successful incremental backup of '\\nodename\d$'

03/28/2008 04:32:24 ANS1898I ***** Processed     4,000 files *****

03/28/2008 04:32:25 ANS1898I ***** Processed     5,000 files *****

03/28/2008 04:32:26 ANS1898I ***** Processed     5,500 files *****

 

So it finished the 'D' drive at 00:16, but more than 4 hours later the
usual ANS1898I messages for the 'E' drive appear. These usually appear
shortly after the 'D' drive message. Typically:

 

03/24/2008 00:29:07 Successful incremental backup of '\\nodename\d$'

03/24/2008 00:40:59 ANS1898I ***** Processed     4,000 files *****

03/24/2008 00:41:00 ANS1898I ***** Processed     5,000 files *****

03/24/2008 00:41:02 ANS1898I ***** Processed     6,500 files *****

 

So where is the delay likely to be, should i be looking close at the
network, the TSM server or the client where the backup is running? 

 

I am seeing some of these messages in the windows event logs

ANR0918E Inventory Query Backup for node <nodename> terminated - lock
conflict.

 

And occasionally these (but not last night)

TSM Server Diagnostic: ANR9999D: pkshmem.c(669): Error detected while
freeing memory; free was called from csevent.c(2254).

 

Have searched the web for similar, but not a great deal of information
available.

 

Thanks 

 

Jeff
