Hi Tom! Thank you very much! I'll try that. But would MEMORYEFFICIENBACKUP make any difference when the TSM client is just sitting there, without backing up anything?
Man, am I looking forward to check out the log-files tomorrow!! --Tor Rysstad -----Original Message----- From: Tom�s Hrouda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 5:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Client Agent randomly stopping on Windows 2000 SP2 Hi Tor, if problem with memory overflow appears at start of backup, so I think I know what is your problem ... I have similar one on AIX client which backs up tons of files through NFS. Try to include parameter MEMORYEFFICIENBACKUP YES into your dsm.opt file (or check this switch through client GUI Edit - Preferences - Backup - Use less memory). TSM client tried to load all directory structure to memory at start of backup by default. If you use MEMORYEFFICIENBACKUP switch, client do it by simple directories. I suggest it because of your note about large amount of files. Perhaps it helps.

The Win2000 server has plenty of RAM and CPU! Tons and tons.. It's just a fileserver, the only thing particular is that it contains a large amount of small files.. Most of my users are programmers.. 1. Is client-version dependent of server version? Can I safely upgrade my win2000 server without having to change anything on the ADSM server? 2. If I upgrade, can I restore with a lower version-number (older) client? Thank you very much !!!

You can try upgrading to the 4.1.2.20 client, that fixed a lot of misc. problems for me on Win2K machines, including the "program memory exhausted" messages. Unless this machine really IS very short on memory... -----Original Message----- From: Rysstad - Tor Arne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 5:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Client Agent randomly stopping on Windows 2000 SP2 Hi Eric and the rest of the list ! Thank you very much for the hint! (And for the patience..) DSMERROR.log contains loads of this: 04/03/2002 11:16:59 ConsoleEventHandler(): Caught Ctrl-C console event . 04/03/2002 11:16:59 ConsoleEventHandler(): Cleaning up and terminating Process ... I guess it goes without saying that I am not pressing Ctrl+C.. honest.. Is this a known error? Also this one is occur frequently: 04/03/2002 10:56:54 Unable to open Acknowledgement Mailslot '\\.\mailslot\client'. What does that mean? 04/01/2002 16:59:14 ConsoleEventHandler(): Caught Logoff console event . 04/01/2002 16:59:14 ConsoleEventHandler(): Process Detached. TSM is running as a service, not as an application.. Or is my server playing an April 1. prank on me?? Wow, an IBM server with a sense of humor.. :-) In the DSMSCHED.LOG file (OUCH.. scroll-cramp, scroll-cramp!!!)... I found this: 03/18/2002 23:59:54 ANS1075E *** Program memory exhausted *** This occured approx. 1,5 hours after the backup started. The server the client is running on is working about as hard as Britany Spears' parents.. Looks like a general failure message to me.. Or? Once again, thank you very, very much for any help or hints! I guess that most of you fine people understand that I have no idea of what I am doing.. Perhaps somebody could send me some URLs to TSM related websites. I guess that might be better... BTW.. www.tivoli.com/support <http://www.tivoli.com/support> requires an code that I do not have...

First of all, I am sorry if this topic has been discussed before.. I am new to this group... I am running a Windows 2000 SP2 server, with IE6 and all the patches/updates I have found.. Backup is taken to an ADSM server via TSM Backup Client Version 4, Release 1, Level 3.0. Trouble is; every 10 minutes or so the TSM client agent service stops.. just like that.. I have made a "net start.. " script that runs every 10 minute, but that's no good.. :-) Any reason for this happening known to man? Or to IBM? .... Patches? Updates? Changes? Magic? Thank you very much in advance for any help, hints etc! Regards from Oslo, Norway Tor Arne Rysstad PS.
