Yesterday, one of my servers (all are Linux 7.1.6.3) suddenly started spewing these message, about every 1 minute (many of them being suppressed by the server as duplicates). How do I figure out what is causing it and why? More details in the message would be helpful, IBM!

(SESSION: 321717, PROCESS: 1254) Near as I can tell, this is a tape reclaim process which brings me back to why now? This system uses tapes all the time with no issues and no, I don't have any tape drive/library problems. Checked other TSM servers for messages, especially the LM server (this is a Library Client), and nothing in either TSM or the OS /var/log/messages. -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.
