Change the "once" to "off" in the inittab entry. I'm not sure if the installation/upgrade process will change it back or not, though. But don't do this if the running dsmserv was started by that autosrvr entry, or init will kill the running server! (Related trick for starting the TSM server after a TSM halt without rebooting or manually running the dsmserv process: change the "2" to "2a" in inittab, then use "telinit a" to make init start the TSM server the same way it would at boot.) -- Hello World.
