Okay, I went for the easy target and missed.

I guess the next questions to ask are whether or not the server has a replica 
of any partitions on it (the server we backup NDS on has a replica of all the 
partitions in our tree) and whether or not the netware user name that you are 
authenticating with has any kind of rights to those partitions (we use the 
admin user and password to authenticate tsm to the server and tree).

Hi Joel,

NETDB.nlm was already loaded when I checked.  I have also tried
reloading the modules (SMDR, TSANDS, TSAFS ...) but to no avail.

I have looked in the archives of the list but only found something
refering to an older NW install and an older TSM client.

I was wondering if people running older versions of the eDir (like 7.x)
are have a similar problem. This would help me eliminate the version of
eDir as being the issue.

Thanks all,

Curt

I believe NETDB.NLM needs to be loaded manually before the TSA's, or at
least before the DSMC*.  But you would not be able to backup regular
files either if this was not loaded, I think....

Just a shot in the dark....

Hi all,

I've run into some issues while trying to back up a test box loaded
with NW 6.5 running eDir 8.7.3.  All I get are errors everytime I try
to
do either a scheduled or manual backup of the NDS.

Current setup is:
  TSM Server v5.2.1.2
  TSM Client for NW v5.2.2.9 (Mar 18th 04)
  NW v6.5
  eDir v8.7.3
 TSANDS.nlm v10551.61
 SMDR.nlm v6.54 (Dec 1st 03)

Using both
 TSAFS.nlm v6.50.06 (Dec 4th 03)
 TSA600.nlm v6.00.08 (Sep 11 03)


The error that I'm coming across in the DSMERROR.LOG is:

"ANS1876E Unable to connect to target service.  Netware SMS return
code
= FFFFFFFF."

Not too sure where to look from here.  Has anyone come acrosss this
before?

Thanks

Curt
