Good Afternoon
I upgraded 4 clients from 4.x to 5.1.6 on windows 2k machines and with two of the clients all was well. With the other two the schedule backups were failing with Dr Watson errors. The errors also showed up with the dsmc incr commands and a backup using the gui. I upgraded one of the failing boxes to 5.2.02 to see if the latest level would fix the problem. To upgrade, the client was uninstalled using start==>control panel==> add/remove programs the client server was restarted. the new client was installed. the scheduler was not uninstalled but it was not started (nothing to start) during the install of the 5.2 client For a simple test a simple 22 byte text file was created in the d:\ directory. A backup using the gui of just this file, which had never been backed up, failed with the following written in the, new to me, file dsmcrash.log which points to the dump being written to the file dsmcrash.dmp. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2003/08/07 17:30:22 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Version: 5.2.0.2 Build date: Fri Jul 18 11:38:39 2003 dsm.exe caused exception C0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:00531B6F Register dump: EAX=44000000 EBX=01511B54 ECX=01535938 EDX=01511A68 ESI=014FCFA0 EDI=01511A68 EBP=00000001 ESP=01EDFEA0 EIP=00531B6F FLG=00010206 CS=001B DS=0023 SS=0023 ES=0023 FS=0038 GS=0000 Crash dump successfully written to file 'C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\ dsmcrash.dmp' ----------------------------------------------------------------- Is anyone else seeing errors of this nature? My first thought is that one of the old tsm files did not get replaced by the new tsm client. But I do not have the list of files and unique id info for the files. Is this info available for us to look at? It appears that tsm has come up with their own version of Dr Watson? Can anyone from IBM talk about the new debugging info? Thanks len ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard Boyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] SAS Institute Inc.
