Hi Allen, yes, I am seeing sessions hang like this. The sending server is version 6. The receiver is 5.5. I am making the copypools for the v6 servers on virtual volumes. I get hanging sessions like this when doing backup stgpool and also doing tsm db backups to the same 5.5 server. I monitor it every morning and cancel the hanging sessions. I have a pmr open.
If you look in the sending server, you should see messages like this - tsm: XXXX>q act begint=00:00 s=socket Session established with server XXXX: Linux/x86_64 Server Version 6, Release 1, Level 3.0 Server date/time: 02/12/2010 14:05:36 Last access: 02/12/2010 13:51:06 02/12/2010 01:37:22 ANR8213E Socket 19 aborted due to send error; error 110.
