Not only is it not right that it gave a "Completed" message, it's also
not right that dsmcad.nlm will even load without the TSA's being loaded
first.  I've done that a couple times also, although I'm just used to
checking for the TSA's right away now.

It's actually Netware 6.0 and turns out that the problem is that the
TSA600.NLM wasn't loaded. There were errors all over the DSMERROR.LOG
and
DSMSCHED.LOG files, nothing was backed up, but the client still
notified the
TSM server that the event completed successfully. That just plain
isn't
right! I am still waiting to hear back on my PMR with Tivoli support.

Yeah, but like Mark said, don't always believe the client.
What does de NW server itself report about the OS version?

Bill,

You'll probably mean Netware 6.5?

Richard.

TSM Server 5.1.7.1 on Windows2000
TSM 5.1.6.6 on Netware 5.6 servers

I have found several Netware 5.6 servers that are completing the
backup
events successfully, but no data is backed up. The event is marked
complete,
but there are no end of backup statistics in the activity log. In one
case
a
Netware 5.6 server is issueing lots of ANR0484W Protocol Violation
errors,
the schedule is marked complete, no ending statistics and all the
filespaces
for that node do not show a current backup completiong date.

Now that I start looking, I see several of the Netware servers having
this
problem. We're using the TSM Operational Reporter for notifications
and
when
it doesn't flag events as missed or failed, we assume good backups.
That's
doesn't appear to be the case.

Anyone out there doing Netware 5.6 server backups running into
problems
like
this? I've opened a PMR, and am waiting to hear back.
