I have had this problem with several servers. I solved the problem on several by utilizing the IP address in the dsm.opt as the TCPCLIENTADDRESS instead of the node name.

Hi all, We are running into an issue with several of our AIX servers. Every 1 to 2 days, one of the client servers incremental backup is "missed" or fails because of: ANR2716E Schedule prompter was not able to contact client SY using type 1 (10.160.97.213 1501). I have checked all the obvious: 1. dsmc sched is running. 2. There are no apparent network problems. It seems to me that the process: dsmc sched just hangs. Once I kill it and re-start it, the backup runs fine. These are my levels: Server: AIX 4.3.3 ML10 TSM 4.2.1.7 Client: AIX 4.3.3 ML8 TSM Client 4.2.0.0 Anyone has any ideas of what could be wrong? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance, Beatriz
