The last message in the shell window where I executed the 'install_server' command is: Upgrading TSM server database... A 'ps' command shows a 'dsmserv UPGRADEDB' process that has been running for about 28 minutes elapsed time and has used about 23 minutes of processor time. Is this normal behavior?
