Can you run strace on the process, or use lsof to see if it's touching one of the dead mount points? ________________________________________ From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] on behalf of Zoltan Forray [zfor...@vcu.edu] Sent: Thursday, October 6, 2016 7:59 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] dsmc won't start/hangs
An odd situation popped up on a Linux client (7.1.3.1). This client had been backing up just fine and suddenly it stopped. Nothing in dsmerror.log. What is strange is you cant get into dsmc. It simply hangs so hard you have to kill -9 it. The TSM server is still fully ping-able. Tried renaming dsm.sys/dsm.opt so it could not find it and properly reports this but as soon as they are available/found, it hang? The only clue/oddity we see is an NFS mount that is also non-responsive/non-pingable and we are talking to the server owner about rebooting the box. Can this be causing the dsmc process to hang? Any thoughts on how to diagnose this? -- *Zoltan Forray* TSM Software & Hardware Administrator Xymon Monitor Administrator VMware Administrator (in training) Virginia Commonwealth University UCC/Office of Technology Services www.ucc.vcu.edu zfor...@vcu.edu - 804-828-4807 Don't be a phishing victim - VCU and other reputable organizations will never use email to request that you reply with your password, social security number or confidential personal information.
