Hi,

you could try the latest TSA Updates from Novell: TSA5UP12.EXE

It's sometimes tricky to find a stable combination of TSM Client and TSA
Version. I have still Nw6 SP2 with the 5.1.6.0 TSM Client running
without any problems.

Best regards,
Wolfgang Bayrhof

All,

Environment:

AIX 5.1 ML4 server with TSM 5.1.7.0 code.

Client is a NW6 machine, 2GB memory, with TSA600.NLM (6.00.05),
TSANDS.NLM
(version unknown), and SMDR.NLM (6.50.03).  Backing up via 100/full
network connection.

For reasons that I do not fully understand, the Netware admin does not
want to load TSANDS, which is apparently used only to back up the NDS.
They only wish to get certain user files.

The backups run OK manually (dsmc i), but if I "load dsmc sched" and let
the scheduler handle it (server prompted), memory usage goes through the
roof...after one night, TSA600 will be using well over 1GB, and close to
2GB on the second night.  The second night will not complete.

Is TSANDS *required*?  I'm thinking that this might be the cause for the
memory consumption that I'm seeing.

Any comments would be appreciated.

-Lloyd
