Also, talk to the person who set up the firewall. Some firewall software has it's own "commtimeout" parms. If there is a large enough pause in communication between the TSM server and client, the firewall shuts down the session.
Because TSM clients spend time noodling around in the filesystem looking for data to back up, there are frequent "pauses" in a backup session. I have found that you often have to increase the firewall parm or you get a lot of TSM "session terminated" messages. (The backups usually reconnect and finish anyway, but take about 5 times longer than they should.) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard van Denzel Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 9:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Dealing with firewall/slow network Zoltan, For the obivious, Port 1500 is open on the Firewall?

Eventhough both the TSM servers and all the clients are on the same network, there seems to be some communications issues. I am seeing lots of these: 6/19/2004 8:00:07 PM ANR8214E Session open with 25 failed due to connection refusal. 6/19/2004 8:00:07 PM ANR0480W Session 3477 for node MUSTANG () terminated - connection with client severed. 6/19/2004 8:00:08 PM ANR8214E Session open with 26 failed due to connection refusal. 6/19/2004 8:00:08 PM ANR0480W Session 3478 for node DINGO () terminated - connection with client severed. 6/19/2004 8:00:09 PM ANR8214E Session open with 27 failed due to connection refusal. 6/19/2004 8:00:09 PM ANR0480W Session 3480 for node DOG () terminated - connection with client severed. The server TCPIP communications timeout is set to 3,600 and idletimeout is set to 600. Any good books/info/recommendations on dealing with this kind of configuration ? FWIW, most of the clients are Sun/Solaris systems.
