Kill command is ok however keep in mind that you'll want to check what the TSM server is doing first before you do it. Make sure any backups/restores can be cancelled (and the appropriate people informed) as well as any other processes like migration and so forth. According to the TSM manual you should do:
Disable sessions - prevents new clients from accessing TSM put permits existing sessions to continue Query sessions - check if any sessions are currently running Cancel session - cancel above sessions as appropriate Query process - check for any running processes Cancel process - cancel them as appropriate Then when the TSM server is quiet and you're ready to shut it down: Halt When you bring it back up use "enable sessions" to allow clients to access TSM again.. Are the above necessary? No not really.. doing a halt outright or sending a kill signal to the process is going to cause the TSM server to cancel everything anyways.. So if you know it's ok to do so then go for it. But I usually do a quick check and "quiet" the TSM server personally..
