TSM Server 5.2.2.0 on Windows2003 TSM Client 5.2.4.0 on Windows 2000 During the backup (ALL-LOCAL) the backup never completes and the TSM Scheduler serivice remains in a Started state (running managed services mode). The next night the backup schedule misses. We have identified that the backup is hanging while processing the WMI. Searching the TSM site we came across Tecnote FAQ 1192096 "Backup failed when WMI hangs". This is exactly the problem. We reboot the server and the backups may work for up to several days before this happens again. And this is happening across most of the Windows2000 servers. Some more frequently than others. Searching on Microsoft for WMI HANG brings up a lot of hits.
Just wondering if anyone out there has encountered this problem. The NT admin(s) are supposed to be researching the hang, too. Bill Boyer "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional" - ??
