Hi all, I still haven't been able to solve my problems with TCP/IP and ADSM. I have tried a variety of things, but my knowledge of this system is limited and my knowledge of AIX is not much better. Here are some samples of the messages I have been getting.
A sample from my dsmerror.log: 08/21/02 09:07:31 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -450 08/21/02 09:07:31 ANS1473E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure for Shared Memory 08/21/02 14:56:06 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -450 08/21/02 14:56:06 ANS1473E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure for Shared Memory 08/21/02 15:45:30 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -450 08/21/02 15:45:30 ANS1473E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure for Shared Memory 08/22/02 15:26:17 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -450 08/22/02 15:26:17 ANS1473E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure for Shared Memory 08/22/02 16:45:04 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -450 08/22/02 16:45:04 ANS1473E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure for Shared Memory Tal: # lppchk -v lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring the system to a consistent state: bos.adt.include 4.2.1.12 (not installed; requisite fileset) Tal: # dsmadmc ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager Command Line Administrative Interface - Version 3, Release 1, Level 0.5 (C) Copyright IBM Corporation, 1990, 1997, All Rights Reserved.

Would this command create a new log file to use if this one is corrupted? Also, as I said in a previous post, I see no tcp/ip services running for dsm on 1500, 1510, 1580, etc... Is there a command to start it, beyond `dsm &`? I am really stumped at this point, if anyone has any idead, please let me know. Thanks very much!
