Antwort: Re: TSM v.4.2.3.2 server on AIX
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 crashed | mail -s
"TSM Server crashed" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
exit
else
exit
fi
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

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!

Subject: TSM v.4.2.3.2 server on AIX
Last week, I installed the TSM v4.2.3.2 server patch on a AIX 4.3.3 ML10 box
with 2 GB RAM, a 100 GB TSM Database, with 10 GB of logspace. 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. Reiss

On Tuesday 15th Jan (when we went to 4.2.3.3) we had exactly the same problems, which I mentioned here btw. On Monday 27th Jan I wrote (here): >> AIX 4.3.3.0, TSM 4.2.3.2.

Since we'r running 4.2.3.3 the core dumps are gone. Cheers, Henk (not that I heard anything from Tivoli sofar, but that's another issue)
