Does Tivoli analyze of root cause this problem for ANY of its customers? Or
did they just reboot the UNIX systems or bounce the ADSM application?
One root cause is the ADSM/TSM server not being able to recover from the
failure of an OS call. This is specifically the case when waiting for
library manager commands to return.

Becky,
I have experienced that before.
What I found out was, I had 2 lmcpd daemons running.
No library communication from TSM, I could see the Library from AIX.
(TSM
got confused and hung itself)
That does not seem to be the case for you unless you shutdown the
physical
server? . ?
When it came back up it started fresh daemons ??
I killed te daemon processes, then halted TSM and brought it back
up.
Worked for me.

Subject: TSM Server locking
I am running
tsm server 4.1.2
aix 4.3.3
12 3590E1A in a 3494
TDP for R/3 3.2.06
This past weekend at 16:00 my backup started by backing up my
archive logs
to disk. It opened 10 of 11 threads and then did absolutely nothing
else.
Other processes started during the night and anything that did not
require
a
tape drive ran and completed successfully (dr tape courier to
vault,
expiration, various admin commands) but anything that needed a drive
opened
and did nothing more. I discovered it Sunday morning around 11 by
logging
in, noticing the problem and doing a q dr. It never returned. I
have had
a
similar situation before and my experience has said if you do a q dr
and it
doesn't return recycle the TSM Server. I did that and everything
continued
to normal but I have no idea why this happened. I am honestly not
sure
where to look. Is it TDP? Is it the TSM Server? Is it something
to do
with the tape drives? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
