One of my Windows admins has come to me with this problem on a new Windows 2012 server. Yes they are running the latest client,
The symptoms seem to be this problem: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21502685 They have run through all of the processes in this document and everything is working as it should (except the backup). The statement "TSM uses VSS to back up system state, but VSS runs into errors if the 100 MB System Reserved Partition is offline." brings up the question about the 100MB value since this partition on this machine, while it is online, is 99MB. Does this matter and could it be the cause of these problems? -- *Zoltan Forray* TSM Software & Hardware Administrator Xymon Monitor Administrator Virginia Commonwealth University UCC/Office of Technology Services www.ucc.vcu.edu zfor...@vcu.edu - 804-828-4807 Don't be a phishing victim - VCU and other reputable organizations will never use email to request that you reply with your password, social security number or confidential personal information.
