Let me show my ignorance . . . . .
When I setup our little test *SM instance I installed it in a
different location than the default. I was pretending I was setting
up a second instance. To start the instance I had to change the
current directory to the location of the dsmserv.dsk file. To get it
to start from the inittab file I had to add a "cd" command this
directory. If I didn't, I started up the *SM instance that gets
installed with *SM.
So, if you instance is installed outside of the default, try adding a
"cd" to the directory where your dsmserv.dsk file is located.
