What I did, was increase the number of drives that the server would use during the backup...originally it was one tape drive and increased it to two tapes drives...problem disappeared and not reoccurred...not sure if you are writing directly to tape or to a disk pool.

First the particulars: Server is AIX 4.3.3 ML 10, TSM V4.2.2 Client is AIX 4.3.3 ML 10, TSM V5.1.5.5 (upgraded several times from V4.2.2 at TSM Support request to deal with this problem) Client and server are on separate 100 Mb full duplex subnets. There are other AIX 4.3.3 ML 10 clients on the same subnet as the failing client that do not get any errors. network option (no) settings are the same on both clients. dsm options have been modified on the failing client to reflect those on the successful client in troubleshooting to ensure differing options are not causing a problem. The client having the problem will start a backup (incremental or archive, scheduled or manual) and suddenly "freeze" for several minutes before severing the socket connection and will proceed to reconnect/timeout almost continuously. Sometimes it appears to stop in the same spot, other times not. There doesnt appear to be any reason why certain files would cause a problem (i.e., they are not open at the time). Any idea what i can check? I have tried everything... all sorts of settings in dsm.sys and no settings. There are not any errors reported on the system itself. just "session lost" on the client and "session terminated" on the server. Ive been working with IBM TSM Support for quite sometime and they just keep wanting more traces and "upgrade to the latest client." Im at my wits end.
