Environment:

Server: RS/6000-AIX5.1          TSM V4.2.1.9

Client: NT4-SP6, 

Win2k-SP1, IBM/SP2-AIX5.1                        TSM V4.2.1.9

Netware 6 client with TSM  B/A Client  V 5.1.5.0

I was wondering if anyone had any challenges with TSM backups not working after 
migrating a client to Netware 6. This is what is happening here.....

We just upgraded to Netware 6 on our Netware client. After the migration the 
scheduled backup job was not able to talk to the TSM server and we got this 
message:

01/29/03   01:09:37      ANR8213W Session open with (10.###.##.##) timed out.   
     
01/29/03   01:09:37      ANR2716E Schedule prompter was not able to contact 
client 
                          MMRSSERV using type 1 (10.###.##.## ###).  

TSM support then told us to upgrade our TSM 3.7 client on the Netware Client to 
TSM V 5.1.5.0 . We did this and then started getting this message:

02/01/03 08:50:53 ANR9999D smnode.c(6243): ThreadId<23> Error receiving 

EventLog Verb - invalid data type, 21300, received for 

event number 4005 from node (NetWare)MMRSSERV. 

******************

TSM support says we need to upgrade our TSM Server version to 5.1.5

Our software rep says:

Our current version of NSM is 4.2 (server version). This is as far as we can go 
with NSM. We need to migrate from NSM to TSM server software. This is provided 
through "passport advantage" which is no longer through them. He says we need 
to contact our passport advantage vendor and request the necessary software for 
migration. 

After all of this, will our backups work for netware??????????
