Error description

  • Starting the Backup-Archive client GUI (dsm) or the
    Backup-Archive client command line (dsmc) may log the following
    error :
    
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that
    is unavailable"
    
    The error is logged when the client is started and the
    icclib085.dll file is missing.
    This prompts the Windows installer to try and reinstall the
    missing file which then logs the error.
    
    The issue occurs under the following conditions.
    
    1) The IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive client 8.1.6, 8.1.7
       or 8.1.8 is installed first.
    2) The client's installation folder named "TSMCLI_WIN" is then
       removed.
    3) The IBM Spectrum Protect server 8.1.2 or 8.1.5 is installed.
    4) The IBM Spectrum Protect server is then upgraded to version
       8.1.7 or 8.1.8.
       During the upgrade the following file is erroneously removed:
       "C:\Program Files\ibm\gsk8\lib64\N\icc\icclib\icclib085.dll"
    5) The Backup-Archive client GUI or command line is started and
       the error is then logged.
    
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager and IBM Spectrum Protect versions
    affected:
    IBM Spectrum Protect server 8.1.7, 8.1.8 for Windows
    IBM Spectrum Protect client 8.1.6, 8.1.7 or 8.1.8 when installed
    on the same machine before a server level 8.1.
    
    
    Initial Impact: Low
    Additional Keywords:  upgrade TS002469840
    

Local fix

  • When installing the client and server in any of these
    combinations on the same machine,install the server first and
    then install client.
    If the client has already been installed before the server and
    then installed server, re-install the client to get the missing
    file back in place from installation package.
