Re: CAD TSM errors - Win Client on W2003 Server CAD Error

2004-03-09 Thread Paul Fielding
I've seen this on other windows boxes before. It happens to me sometimes if I try to install the Scheduler Daemon via the Wizard, and tell it to use CAD to start, but don't try to install the Web Client via the Wizard, and then adding a 'managedservices schedule webclient' in the dsm.opt file. T

2004-03-05 Thread Paul Fielding
You're opening a big can of worms doing it with only 1 drive. That and you need to deal with the fact that tape reclamation is a pain in the butt to deal with tapes that aren't left in the library. Are you planning on taking just the exchange data out of the library, or both the exchange data *a

You can certainly do it - in the copy pool for the management class domino data is going to set the following: verexist = nolimit verdeleted = nolimit retextra = nolimit retonly = nolimit However, don't forget these other two resultant settings: size of library = not big enough $$$ for new tapes

As it turns out, we couldn't ping the server when it became unaccessible. There's a monitor server here that does regular ping tests on the site, and it recorded the Netware server in question as going down roughly the same time our backup died, and TCP didn't come back online until we rebooted the

That's actually a good question. The Netware admin had rebooted it by the time I came in. We'll run another test tonight and if it freezes again i'll make sure we test the connectivity more thoroughly... regards, Paul Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > > > > > Can you ping the server when the se

Netware 4.1, Client 4.1.3 and Network Failure during backup?

Hi all, Having dug though the archives I haven't found anything that looks quite like this one, so I thought I'd throw it out there. I'm currently implementing TSM at a site running several Netware 4.1 servers. Understanding that it's no longer a supported platform, they still have a need to back

IPX under TSM 5.2?

I have a need to get a Novell 4.x box backing up to a new TSM implementation under IPX/SPX. My current understanding is that IPX is no longer supported, my my two quick questions are such: 1. Does not supported mean "will work but not supported", or does it mean "won't work" ? 2. Assuming it won

Stopping BRBACKUP from doing a logswitch with TDP R3?

Hi all, I'm working with someone who's doing a BCV split on EMC disk, then using the TDP for R3 to back up the database (SAP oracle). Leaving aside questions on whether or not the TDP should be used here (I've already had that discussion), we're running into a problem where we can restore the

Can't schedule backup of network shares

I'm trying to back up a couple of network mounted drives. In the past I've done this by simply adding the drives to the domain list. This time, however, I'm having problems getting them to run, and I suspect that since I am using the NT 4.1.1.0 client this time that it is either a) a change
