Hi All New function always seems to add new bugs, particularly with a product as complex as TSM
I have a client with TSM 5.3.1.2 on a win2003 cluster. There is one maintenance_plan script that has been running well for over three months and has evolved over time. After 10 days of normal TSM Server operation since the last restart, suddenly we've started getting 01/15/2006 07:00:25 ANR0116W The server script MAINTENANCE_PLAN attempted to start more parallel commands than are allowed for the server. The server is limited to 256 parallel commands. (SESSION: 8402) 01/15/2006 07:00:25 ANR1447W MAINTENANCE_PLAN: The server is not able to begin a new thread to execute the command on line 5 in parallel. The command will run serially. (SESSION: 8402) And everything runs sequentially instead of parallel. I've seen IC46488, but in this case every PARALLEL command has a corresponding SERIAL. In no case is there an attempt to start more than 16 commands at once, and there are no outstanding processes, sessions or whatever visible. A server restart has fixed the problem for now, but I don't want it recurring - I have reported this to IBM but would like to know if anyone else has an insight they'd like to share.
