For me, a successful TELNET "does nothing."  It clears the command window to a 
fully black, no text, screen.  That means the port opened on the client and 
it's waiting for a command which would typically be TSM Server issuing the 
command.

If it fails, it reports an error such as "unable to connect" or some obvious, 
readable, text.

Thanks David


Actually the telnet attempt just sits there no response, I thinks it's a 
firewall issue but according to the admin nothing has changed. The schedule 
shows ready for a backup tonight but it won't do anything. I am going to check 
on the firewall again.

Then Harold has the right answer.  If you can telnet from the tsm server to the 
client at the port the listener is suppose to be using, than it is not a 
firewall problem.  If the telnet attempt times out, either the cad (or 
scheduler) is not running, it is using a different port (see the cad startup 
messages in dsmwebcl.log), or there is a firewall/network issue blocking access.

Are you running in polling (the default) or prompted mode?

Hi,
We have 4 windows 2008 that are missing consistently the TSM scheduler is set 
to start however the backups don't run.
f.y.i - We had this issue about  5 months ago and the admin set the UAC to the 
lowest settings and turned the firewall off and the backups worked until 
recently. The admin says the firewall is turned off and the settings are the 
same.
Anyone else have or have had this issue?

Windows 2008 64 bit R2 servers
Tivoli clients 6.2.2.2

Thanks for any help/advice in advance!
