I would try lowering the Cache Memory Threshold in increments of 5, and
see if that helps at some point.  The newer tsa's are known to sometimes
have memory issues.  The config file doesn't take affect dynamically
though.  You'll have to unload dsmcad & tsa's, then reload them, in
between each test.

In the smsstart.ncf file you may also want to change the tsafs line to
LOAD TSAFS.NLM /NoCachingMode .  As far as I know, the tsm client does
it's own read-ahead caching, and the tsa-level caching is just
redundant.

Could you post what your smsstart.ncf file & tsa.cfg file look like? In
case you're not familiar with it, the tsa.cfg is in sys:\etc\sms.

Hello

I upgrade today a Novell 6.5 with Tsm client 5.3.012 to a a Tsm client
5.3.2 for testing. I update too my nlm's with the tsa5up18.exe from
Novell.

But when running an incremental backup from the command line: I
-su=yes

I got this following errors:

12/14/2005 11:20:32 (SMDR-6.54.2) The server is unable to allocate
sufficient memory.
12/14/2005 11:20:32 ANS1076E The specified directory path could not be
found.
12/14/2005 11:20:32 (SMDR-6.54.2) The server is unable to allocate
sufficient memory.
12/14/2005 11:20:32 ANS1076E The specified directory path could not be
found.

sufficient memory.
12/14/2005 11:20:32 ANS1076E The specified directory path could not be
found.

I made no changes in my Novell server option parameters and no changes
too in my dsm.opt.

I go back to Tsm version 5.3.012 and everything work fine ......

I read the readme attach to 5.3.2 and maybe belong to this ????

*Memory Requirements (This is a variable):

*Minimum memory is 125 bytes per file; Maximum memory is 362 bytes per
file.
Multiply bytes per file by the number of files and directories being
backed up.
Memory usage can vary because the directory name size and file name
size can vary.
*When performing incremental backups memory requirements can double in
size because we must compare meta data stored on the TSM Server with
local file/directory information.
*To decrease memory requirements see client option
'memoryefficientbackup'.

Help will be appreciate .... My TSM server version is 5.2.4.2

Robert Ouzen
