Good tip! FYI... Noticed that I was getting the following error... I had
been getting this error since installing the new server code a few months
ago (went from 3.7.3.6 to 4.1.4.5):
02/25/02 22:00:04 ANS9281E Space management kernel extension is downlevel
from the user program.
Since the problem with the scheduler quitting had only been occuring during
the past week, I didn't immediatly associate this error with the scheduler
quitting but sure enough, the times did coincide. I had been getting this
error on and off since installing new server code months ago. Why the
problem (scheduler stopping) didn't pop up for months is a mystery. In any
case, I we don't run HSM so I just went to the /dev directory and removed a
file/device called "fsn" which is associated with this HSM stuff and the
problem of the scheduler stopping went away. This is strange because I had
deleted references to HSM in my rc.* files, had no HSM file systems nor
were any HSM processes running. I did not have any HSM licenses actuated
either... strange but the problem is now fixed.... Thanks to all who
responded!

Subject: Re: TSM scheduler dies
Look in your dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log on this client and see if there
are any messages indicating problem. I have one AIX client that
occaisionally has a memory problem and that shows up in logs.

I have server AIX 433 running TSM 4.1.4.5 & 4.1.3 client. The TSM scheduler
runs out of /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin. Over the past week, the TSM
scheduler just quits.
example of scheduler process while running:
afcops2: /usr/local/bin # ps -aef | grep sched
root 11502 31266 1 14:46:24 pts/0 0:00 grep sched
root 22444 1 0 14:33:33 - 0:00 dsmc sched
---------- I start the scheduler on system reboot via an entry in my
inittab:
adsmschd:a2:once:/etc/rc.adsmc >/dev/null 2>&1 #Start ADSM Sched
---------- The inittab entry runs a script rc.adsmc:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Title : ADSM automatic dsmc scheduler startup
# Date : 09/08/1999
#
# Written by B/Johnson
#
# Function : To enable the CLIENT SCHEDULER DAEMON to be
# restarted automatically on reboot
#
# Actions : put the following line into /etc/inittab
#
# 1) adsm::once:/etc/rc.adsmc > /dev/null 2>&1 #ADSM Scheduler
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#set -x
BASEDIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
if [ -x ${BASEDIR}/dsmc ]
then
echo "...Starting ADSM CLIENT SCHEDULER DAEMON..."
cd ${BASEDIR}
nohup dsmc sched 2>&1 > /dev/null &
echo "...ADSM CLIENT SCHEDULER DAEMON STARTED..."
echo "...Sending output to /dev/null..."
else
echo "...Cannot start ADSM Client Scheduler..."
echo "...${BASEDIR}/dsmc does not exist..."
fi
exit 0
___________________Yesterday, I wrote a script to check the scheduler on
the hour (script runs via crontab) and
restart the scheduler, if
necessary... here is script:
#!/bin/ksh
#check to make sure TSM scheduler running
cd /usr/local/bin
SCHED=$(ps -aef | grep -v grep | grep -v tsmsched.scr | grep sched)
echo "${SCHED}" | while read -r SCHEDULER_RUNNING
do
case "${SCHEDULER_RUNNING}" in
"")
echo "TSM Scheduler not running at `date`" >>
/tmp/tsmscheduler.log
echo "The TSM Scheduler was restarted at `date`" >>
/tmp/tsmscheduler.log
telinit a
echo "TSM Scheduler was restarted at `date`" | mail -s "TSM
Scheduler quit!" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
;;
*)
echo "TSM Scheduler running at `date`" >>
/tmp/tsmscheduler.log

done

////////////////Any hints as to why the scheduler is now stopping for no
apparent reason... the rc.adsmc script had run without
a hitch since 1999... Thanks -
