Re: [ADSM-L] TSM-Client starts wrong scheduler

Greetings,

Have you checked to verify that the TSM server and the TSM client have exactly 
the same time?  Is it possible that the TSM server has the correct time, and 
the TSM client's time was set incorrectly, and is exactly 12 hours off?   Or it 
has the correct apparent time, but is set to the wrong time zone, making it 
effectively 12 hours off?

I have seen backup schedules appear to start, then miss for this reason.

It also looks like you are using schedmode polling, which is why it is starting 
25 minutes after the actual start time.   This is not a problem, but it 
explains the behaviour.

Richard Sims pointed out the discrepancy between midnight and noon in your 
apparent scheduled start times, which is certainly worrying.
I also notice that your scheduler is not starting up until almost 25 minutes 
after the scheduled start time.  Why is that?
If your startup window is short (say, 15 minutes), is it possible that your 
window really has elapsed, as the error message suggests?

Hi,

since a few weeks we have a strange behaviour with one of our Backup-Clients.
When the scheduler should start, the clients says that the scheduler is out of 
time and plans the next window start:

01/08/2009 21:03:50 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN
01/08/2009 21:03:50 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END
01/08/2009 21:03:50 Next operation scheduled:
01/08/2009 21:03:50 ------------------------------------------------------------
01/08/2009 21:03:50 Schedule Name:         EVANPDC_DAILY_INCR
01/08/2009 21:03:50 Action:                Incremental
01/08/2009 21:03:50 Objects:
01/08/2009 21:03:50 Options:
01/08/2009 21:03:50 Server Window Start:   00:00:00 on 01/09/2009
01/08/2009 21:03:50 ------------------------------------------------------------
01/08/2009 21:03:50 Scheduler has been stopped.


  >>> now the scheduler should start:

01/09/2009 00:24:51 TSM Backup-Archive Client Version 5, Release 5, Level 1.0
01/09/2009 00:24:51 Querying server for next scheduled event.

01/09/2009 00:15:21


  >>> but it just plans the next one:

01/09/2009 00:24:51 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN
01/09/2009 00:24:51 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END
01/09/2009 00:24:51 Next operation scheduled:

01/09/2009 00:24:51 ------------------------------------------------------------
01/09/2009 00:24:51
Executing scheduled command now.
01/09/2009 00:24:51 ANS1814E Unable to start the scheduled event 
'EVANPDC_DAILY_INCR'
01/09/2009 00:24:51 ANS1815E Either the window has elapsed or the schedule has 
been deleted


But sometimes it works. That's very strange. Any ideas?
