While we were running 6.2.2.0, we had one unpleasant occasion when the tape drives started dropping offline one by one, and then I was unable to connect to the server to log in. The Linux admins said the error message indicated that the AIX box had run itself out of memory, and recommended that I hunt through the APARs fixed in the latest server releases to see if any memory leaks had been fixed. We had to reboot to get TSM running again. I really couldn't say whether periodic server restarts (as opposed to reboots) would have prevented the incident.

Some of my co-workers have brought up the idea of scheduling periodic restarts of the server code for performance reasons. Are other TSM 6.2 sites seeing any sign of performance problems resulting from long periods of continuous operation? Thomas Denier
