Hi There,

Trying a "new" test. You must please forgive me as im not to Netware aware
... (pun intended).

Running Netware 6.5 on 2x HP DL380's
Netware Cluster up and running (resources fail over 100%).
Straigh SCSI disk.

Installed Networker for Netware 4.21 on both nodes.

Win2000 SP3 Backup Server - NW 6.1.3

Networker added as a cluster resource with the correct scripts to start and
stop the Networker services correctly. This works 100% and when the cluster
fails over Networker shuts down and starts up on the other node without a
hitch.

SMS loads before Networker
TSANDS loads before Networker

I am running eval so I havrnt loaded any clientpacks etc.

I have created the virtual node
I have created the physical node

I can backup the physical 1 node's NDS and SYS without a problem (using
correct account and pwd).

I cannot see the shared storage when I probe the physical 1 client.

I cannot connect to the virtual machine - even when specifying correct
account and passwords
(error: Cannot make TSA connection to the default Netware server
(SMDR-5.0-6) An internal error has occured. The connection number to a
module is invalid).

I need to connect to the Virtual Machine to be able to backup the shared
storage. It isnt really necessary to backup the nodes as they have nothing
of importance on them.

ANY IDEAS ? I am fishing here....

ANYTHING SPECIFIC THAT I NEED TO LOAD OR RUN ??

I know Netware 6.5 isnt "officially" supported yet (i.e. on the
compatibility guide - but I have been told that it "should" work the same as
Netware 6.0).

ALL HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED - REWARD CAN BE COLLECTED WHEN YOU ARE IN MY
COUNTRY ...

Regards,

Riaan
