I'm wondering if anyone running AIX 5.2 with TSM 5.2 has run in to this. After some time port 1500 seems to be inaccessible to sessions either directly from the tsm server or remotely. I thought I had heard about this before but can't find anything at the moment. Has anyone else seen this?
Geoff - I'm running that combination. Have not encountered such a problem. I'd recommend using netstat and lsof to check on port 1500, comparing what it looks like when good versus bad. At the same time, test the responsiveness of other TCP services in that system, such as doing: rpcinfo -t <Hostname> portmapper from inside the system and from outside. Do 'no -a' on that system and see if significantly different from a comparable system. Look for 'netstat -i' showing ethernet packet count activity on the en* adapters. Use 'iptrace' and 'ipreport' to monitor port traffic. I would also keep a dsmadmc session active (perhaps even via -CONsolemode or -MOUNTmode). Examine the latest Activity Log entries from the time period. Use 'ps', 'topas', and other tools to check dsmserv process viability. Richard Sims
