Hello, Ethan. I've not seen this. Do they run if you start them manually? How about if you remove 6.2.4.4 and backlevel to 6.2.0.0 to match the working box?

Dear List, for a client with large filespaces, we would like to split the backup up into several nodes in order to balance the load. On the basis of the TSM-client documentation we created several stanzas in the dsm.sys file with different servername entries. In the init-script several dsmc processes are started with the -servername option referring to those stanzas. Now everything works fine with a 6.2.0.0 client (all processes are started and are backing up as expected). On a very similar box with client version 6.2.4.4 something goes wrong: Some dsmc processes are started successfully, some are not, the numbers vary. So there could be some runtime condition. The error message (printed on stdout) is: "/usr/bin/dsmc already running." Has anybody observed this issue and knows about a solution? Best regards, Ethan ----- No virus found in this message.
