The cause could be a misconfiguration of the linux kernel SEMIPHORE settings? What is the output of "ipcs -l"
The suggested settings by IBM are: kernel.sem (SEMMNI) 16384 kernel.sem (SEMMSL) 250 kernel.sem (SEMMNS) 256 000 kernel.sem (SEMOPM) 32 Regard, Uwe -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Im Auftrag von J.

I upgraded our target server from rhel7.6 to rhel7.8 and now dsmserv doesn't come up. The server worked fine on 7.6. After moving to rhel7.8 I now see this fail on an interactive startup: ANR0990I Server restart-recovery in progress. ANR0152I Database manager successfully started.
