There is one other possibility... We are working with IBM on a very similar sounding problem impacting the 5.3.2.x client for Macintosh, which, for the first time, uses a dsmcad process to invoke schedule backups. Hence, the possible link to Linux
Here, the problem is that the generated password file is "disappearing"; IBM's belief is that that the startup script for the dsmcad is running before the network connection is available. The workaround is to put a "sleep 10" at the start of the script...and if that doesn't work, to try a "sleep 20" then a "sleep 30" etc I'm not very Linux-proficient, so I'm not sure where the equivalent files are on Linux, or how to implement a similar workaround, but I thought it worth mentioning.

This can still be related to the not supported version. If the dsmc sched is working for you maybe this is the way to go. Otherwise downgrading the TSM client could be an option.

Maybe there's your problem. Maybe. But I wonder why the first scheduled backup is running. And when I don't use dsmcad but "dsmc sched" instead, everything is fine. -- Regards, Dirk Kastens Universitaet Osnabrueck, Rechenzentrum (Computer Center) Albrechtstr. 28, 49069 Osnabrueck, Germany Tel.: +49-541-969-2347, FAX: -2470
