Hi Geetha,
Check that whether dsmserv is running or not.This u can check by ps-aef |grep dsmserv. If this is running u can't run again unless: Either kill dsmserv with kill -9 . and then restart or Go to tsm admin command line by typing dsmsdmc .This will be located in /opt/tivoli/tsm/ba/bin .After getting the command line for TSM server give: halt on the tsm prompt(Please note that it will stop your tsm server ,so ensure that there are no active users ,req,process on the tsm server at that time,if any cancel them first).Now u can restart the server by dsmserv command.
