We are running AIX 4.3.3 ML09 I have tried the nfstimeout parameter but our backups still fail. The client just stales out, if the NFS server is down.

This taken from admin guide for AIX pg 221: Nfstimeout The nfstimeout option specifies the number of seconds the server waits for a status system call on an NFS file system before it times out. You can use this option to mitigate the default behavior of status calls on NFS file systems. For example, if an NFS file system is stale, a status system call will be timed out by NFS (softmounted) or hang the process (hardmounted). When the value of this option is changed to a value other than zero, a new (child) process is created to issue the status system call. The new process is timed out by the main (parent) process and the operation can continue. Note: The server can also define this option. Options File Place this option in the client system options file (dsm.sys) within a server stanza or the client options file (dsm.opt). Syntax NFSTIMEout number Õ Parameters number Specifies the number of seconds the server waits for a status system call on an NFS file system before timing out. The default is 0 seconds. Examples Options file: nfstimeout 10 Command line: -nfstimeout=10 Good luck~ Gabriel C.

You have to specifically tell it to with the DOMAIN statement in dsm.opt or dsm.sys, depending on your platform. What platform is this? Maybe there is a CLOPSET set on the server to back it up? David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/13/02 04:43PM >>> We ran into a problem with NFS mounts on one our clients. The NFS server went down and when the client tried to backup it just hung. My question is why does TSM back up NFS by default with no real way to turn it off. What can we do to not look at the NFS mounts. I have tried different exclude statements, but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions? TSM server 3.7.4 Client 3.7.2.15 Mark Adams Systems Programmer CSG Systems, Inc.
