Hi all,

after running fine for month, the ADSM-server cored.

-The activity log ends with:
12/26/96   19:30:12      ANR0400I Session 17771 started for node HORUS_C (AIX).
12/26/96   19:30:12      ANR0400I Session 17771 started for node HORUS_C (AIX).

                          by higher priority operation.

                          Bytes: 0.

-In the corefile I found the following messages ("strings core"):
ANR1440I All drives in use.  Process %d being preempted by higher priority 
operation.~
ANR1440I All drives in use.  Process %d being preempted by higher priority 
operation.~
ANR7850I Process 45136 has terminated on signal 11 (Segmentation Violation).

-And with dbx ("dbx dsmserv core"):
IOT/Abort trap in raise at 0xd0078900
IOT/Abort trap in raise at 0xd0078900
0xd0078900 (raise+0x20) 80410014          l   r2,0x14(r1)
(dbx) where
raise(??) at 0xd0078900
abort() at 0xd0019a14
SignalTrap(??, ??, ??) at 0x10006638
asCancelInputMountWait(??, ??) at 0x100d3eb8
bfCancelMediaWaits(??, ??) at 0x10109440
AfCopyCancel(??, ??, ??) at 0x10119638
procCancelProcess(??, ??) at 0x100210f8

So, to me it has something to do with all drives in use and a process is
being preempted by higher priority operation (in this case HSM-activity
from node ISIS-S315).

Anyone seen this before and/or any suggestions?
