All,
I have installed 37 TSM clients all 5.3.4 running on server 5.3.4 all running Open File Support. Of the 37, 3 of them (which run W2K3) are locking up when doing a backup.
When i start the backup, by hand or by sched, it creates the cache on the drive (which has plenty of space) and starts to back up. Things will go well for awhile and then the server will stop responding totally and either needs rebooted, or reboots itself.
Looking through all the logs i am not getting any errors. TSM logs just show file [SENT] then nothing until the server comes back up and makes communication with the tsm server again.
The windows logs show shadow copy going up and down several times, then a problem that it cannot find a message for on the (TsmVssPlugin) then nothing until the server comes back up.
I have installed the lastest "Hotfixes" from MS today and same thing... looks like its going ok, then the server just freezes up.
I am not sure where to go from here, the three servers have nothing in common other than W2K3. I have read a lot where people are getting issues with VSS but the get error messages from TSM... I am getting nothing.
If anyone has seen this error. Please advise!
Thanks
