John and Jim,
Thanks, for your replies. I found out that we are failing in the same
location every time we backup. Unfortunately I am not part of the Netware
group and I took me some doing to get the dsmsched.log. The funny thing
about this is that the backup was running with out any problems until
01/24/2002. We backup the SYS, APPS and DATA volumes with out error and
then we are attempting to backup a mapped volume. This is where the backup
hangs. I asked that the Netware support group check that the volume is
still mapped correctly and they are in the process of doing that now.
I'm sure that there is a simple solution to this now that I have seen the
dsmsched and dsmerror logs. Thanks again for your input on this issue.
Suddenly even as I type I just received a call from the Netware group
indicating that the mapped volume no longer needs to be backed up so they
are removing it from the dsm.opt file, hmmm odd isn't it??
Thanks again for your time.
Brian

Brian,
I suppose you have done all the standard things.
Looked at logs etc.
Do you get any backups?
Does it always hang at the same time?
I have had problems with netware servers and sometimes when it hung it was
the
complexity of
the directory/file structure that was the problem.
Have you got verbose switched on in the opt file so you get more detailed
log
output, or have
you used sql to pull out the timestamp on your backups so you can see how
and
where
it builds up to getting stuck

Subject: Netware 4.11 SP9 Client hangs.
Good morning everyone,
First my environment :
- TSM 4.1.4.0 server running on OS/390 2.10
- TSM Netware client 4.1.3.0
- Netware running 4.11 SP9.
I understand that this is an older Netware client. We are having a problem
with our nightly TSM backup for this one Netware server hanging and never
completing. I have searched the archives and did find a problem with
Netware 4.11 and SP7 but the resolution to this was to install SP7a or
SP8a. Does anyone know of problems with Netware 4.11 SP9 and TSM client
hangs during backup and any possible solutions?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
