Thanks for everyone's replies - I spoke with TSM Support a little while ago and found out that indeed, the backup systemobject is redundant. Also that client 5.1.6 fixes a hang condition on clients doing multiple sessions, which I am; I think this will fix my problem.
Henrik Wahlstedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hello Joe and others, The problem might be that your w2k client doesnt 'tell' that the scheduled backup is complete when it contacts your TSM server, instead it starts another scheduled backup i.e. it loops. Probably, you cant locally backup system object either, client will crash. I dont recall the name of the security fix from MS that caused this problem, but we tried to uninstall the fix but that didnt solve the problem. In my case, I4m busy at the moment upgrading 250+ w2k servers to v.5.1.6.0. And the best part is... all security hotfixes will be in SP4 which will be released pretty soon. :D Andy -Do you this as a problem? Also, see previous threads this month about this. //Henrik Joe Howell YAHOO.COM> cc: (bcc: Henrik Wahlstedt) Sent by: Subject: backup systemobject hanging on win2k "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" RIST.EDU> 2003-06-26 15:25 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I'm running TSM 5.1.5 on OS/390 and backing up Win2K servers running the 5.1.5 client. I issue a "define clientaction nodename action=command object='dsmc backup systemobject'" from the server to each of my clients at the beginning of my backup cycle, followed by a "define clientaction nodename action=incremental" command. The first command gets scheduled right away, but it appears that in many cases the scheduled command takes hours to finish and get out of the way so that the incremental backup can begin. All I see in the server log is that the session times out and that eventually it reconnects and the schedule completes. I don't see any errors in the client log. Any ideas on what might be going on? I do see that the schedule prompter keeps bugging the client to start the incremental; is it possible that this is causing a problem for the client scheduler?
