Hi, we have been running 4.2.3.2 on AIX 4.3.3. Ml10 for about 2 month and the server hasn't crashed once, ( cross fingers) It has about 35 clients backing up roughly 500 GB per night and 1,2 TB on weekends. Client OS's are AIX, Novell, W2k with ba level from 4.2.x.x to 5.2.5.2. Hardware is a RS6k H80 with 1 GB RAM and an ADIC1000 Lib 2 Mod and a 3575 L32, TSM DB is 23GB and log is 3.5 GB.
Q: Why is your log so big? Here is a small, simple script, if you cron it every 30 min it starts the TSM server without intervention. Helps if TSM crashes at night, you sleep better : -). put an empty file called halt.tsm in your home dir if u want to do maintanance, so it won't start TSM. ( Any improvements welcome) /home/root:cat test_tsm.cmd cd /$home ps -e | grep dsmserv > dsmtest if test -r halt.tsm then echo Server maintanance exit elif test ! -s dsmtest then cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin exec dsmserv & echo mail TSM Server <XXXXXXX> crashed | mail -s "TSM Server <XXXXXXX> crashed" [EMAIL PROTECTED] exit else exit fi Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Markus Veit An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: Thema: Re: TSM v.4.2.3.2 server on AIX [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received : 28.01.2003 21:48 Bitte antworten an "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We installed the TSM 4.2.3.2 patches on TSM 4.2.3.0 and AIX 5.1 last Wednesday. Since then, about every 18 hours, we core dump and TSM goes down. (Makes for nasty beeps and telephone calls in the night not to mention ticked off ADMINs with applications that don't get backed up.) TSM support has suggested that the 4.2.3.3 patch will solve our problem. We're installing tomorrow morning and will find out! John G.

Come this morning, it core dumped with a useless truncated core file and no real messages in the errpt, activity log, or dsmserv.err file. TSM support gave me no real things to follow up with other then watch and see if it happens again. We did note that TSM v.4.2.3.3 server patch was released on Friday though. Does anybody know if there are any problems of mysterious or unexplained crashing that existed within the 4.2.3.2 code set? Thanks, David N.
