AIX 5.3 TSM 5.3.1.2 This weekend one of my three TSM servers had the DSMSERV process hang. The machine was accessible, the DSMSERV process still existed. It was still accepting connections but not talking to them. In turn our cross server backups and volume reconciliation hung from the the other 2 TSM servers. One server ended up crashing due to a full recovery log. The other was near that same point. Looks like the root cause was a full recovery log on the hung server. I monitor to see if DSMSERV exists, I monitor for backup and archive failures. I use operational reporting to give me additional information for clients. I even monitor to make sure the client scheduler is running and communicating. Does anybody have a method in place or an idea to monitor if the TSM server is actually capable of communication ?
