We've been working with IBM Support on various issues we've had with this version of the client V5.2.2.10.
We are reviewing this newer version and wonder if anyone has had any issues? Currently the majority of our Windows servers have TSM Client V5.1 installed. We realized a few months ago that our system objects were not being backed up and updated our dsm.opt file to 'domain all-local'. In doing this we ran into some issues of getting RC=12 - failure notifications that the backups failed. In reviewing the event log, dsmerror log and adsmsched log file it says that in fact the files were backed up. IBM said that this was resolved with TSM Client V5.2.2.10. I have since been installing mainly Windows 2003 operating systems with this newer version. Periodically we run into the same issue of RC=12 - failure notification that the backup failed, but in fact the files were backed up. IBM has said that the 'best practice' is to have two separate backups one for system objects and the other for files. I have over 80 windows servers and I'd rather upgrade to the newer client than change all the dsm.opt files and install a batch file.
