Alex,
With the level of TSM your at they're have been many issues with
process and thread hangs but there is away around it. Oh yes my fine
feathered friend!!!. Just go to the client enter the dsmc utility and type
in cancel restore and select the restore number to cancel. Or do a cancel
restore -1 on the server side either way will get the job done. Then
restart the restore as follows: "dsmc restore "/filesystem/*" -replace=no
-subdir=yes -any_other_otions_you_specify This will ensure an incremental
restore. It's failing due to the resource wait timing out on the threads.
This is a problem with older versions. If it still hangs send me you actlog
if you would be so kind and I'll take alook at it for you. But this always
worked for me in the past.
Thanks!.

we've got ADSM 3.1 on an AIX 4.3.3 machine, with a 3575 tape library.
we had a major hardware failure, and i'm restoring the last filesystem
right now. i'm trying to retore a filesystem on an aix system, let's
say its called /home/dude. its a 20GB filesystem. 7GB has already been
restored a few days ago, but the session died because of a missing tape
which we do not have anymore (data not available to server) (don't ask
why we dont have the tape anymore). but now i must restore the rest of
that filesystem. there was a restartable session for this restore, which i
canceled yesterday.
since the restartable seesion is canceled. im just trying to restart a
brand new restore for that filesystem. i go to the aix client, type dsm,
then choose to restore /home/dude, then it starts working, and at some
point it asks me if i want to overwrite, i say NO, then it hangs. its been
sitting there for 90 minutes??!?!?:
1,380 Tcp/Ip RecvW 1.5 H 826.4 K 5.2 K Node AIX HERA.ITG.UIUC.EDU
also, when i do a q rest i get this:
Sess Restore Elapsed Node Name Filespace
Number State Minutes Name
------ ----------- ------- ---------------------
-----------
-1 Restartable 88 HERA.ITG.UIUC.EDU /home/mac/dude
but the sessions should show up as ACTIVE, not Restartable.
so how do i finish restoring this filesystem? i looked in the
administrator guide, page 204, and it does NOT say how to start a
restartable session. it only says how to cancel it.
any ideas? should i just start over? i hate to do that if im just gonna
have to wait another 90 minutes for it to start restoring.
thanks in advance,
alex
