As one of my high school teachers used to say, "Da liegt der Hund begraben"=
.
They have IP addresses in their opt files.  I have not done that before.

They don't match their current ip addresses...but still, why do the manuall=
y triggered schedules work?

Thomas,
Thanks for your help!

The one time backups are run during the day.  The regular daily backups occ=
ur in the evening and early morning. =20

- If it were related to network maintenance, other servers would have the s=
ame problem.

- These servers were moved to VM after our SAN incident occurred.  The prob=
lem started then.  They actually ran after the SAN blinked but before they =
went to VM.  Other clients on the same VM work fine.  They were rather rush=
ed into VM.  I wonder if things were copied that should have been configure=
d.

- The environment is nearly global and these are production servers.   It i=
s unlikely that they would be shut down day after day after local close of =
business.

- I did ask specifically if there are any routine time of day changes to th=
e network, but no.

- Changes without an approved change order are resume inducing events. (Oth=
er than things like recycling a CAD.)

I heard a little earlier today that several of them are being moved to back=
up on a different TSM server in a different network with new IPs.
They will be someone else's concern then, but it will be interesting to see=
 what happens.

Are the one time schedule tests run at about the same time of day as the fa=
iling daily schedules? If not, the missed backups are probably the result o=
f some change in the environment with time of day. The most obvious possibi=
lity is that someone is routinely shutting down the problem children just b=
efore leaving work and starting them up just after arriving at work. More e=
xotic possibilities would include network maintenance or upgrades that are =
being performed piecemeal outside of office hours.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Prompted Clients Missing backups

Hello everyone,
TSM server - Server Version 6, Release 3, Level 5.100 TSM server is on AIX,=
 7.1.0.0

I am having an ongoing problem with a small set clients that Miss nightly b=
ackups.
All our client schedules are server prompted.

They worked just fine before an incident had where the SAN was disrupted.

I go in daily and restart the dsmcad.
There are no errors in the dsmerror.log or dsmsched.log.
There are entries in the dsmsched.log that show the time scheduled for the =
daily backup was picked up early in the day, but then nothing happens.
(It seems that that might be irrelevant given that they are server prompted=
, I have not worked with server prompted sched's before.) These are Windows=
 servers.

To get these servers to backup up, instead of running a manual dsmc -i from=
 the client, we have a manually triggered "ONCE" backup script that creates=
 a one time backup schedule for that client, then runs it immediately.
 All that the script does is copy the existing schedule, prefix it with "ON=
CE_", then change the schedule date and time to (startd=3Dtoday startt=3Dno=
w perunits=3Donetime).
THAT works:
So communication from the TSM server to the client should not be a problem.
And compatibility between the client versions and the TSM Server version sh=
ould not be an issue.

So, if it can work by schedule, why doesn't it?

I get these error messages in the actlog:
ANR2716E Schedule prompter was not able to contact client <prob_child_1>  u=
sing type 1 (xx.xxx.xx.xxx  nnnn)


User response: Verify that the address type and address are correct for thi=
s client. The only valid address type is 1 (for TCP/IP). Make sure that the=
 client scheduler is not using an invalid address, obtained at the time the=
 client scheduler was started, from either the client's options file or fro=
m the command line. Verify that the client scheduler for node node name is =
running and that the necessary communication links to that scheduler are op=
erational. Firewalls must allow traffic from the server to the client and f=
rom the client to the server without the session timing out. Ensure that th=
e DNS configuration is correct.
