Brian,
     We run with OS/390  2.8 and TSM Server Version 4.2.2..  I was getting
the same messages with 4.2.1 as you are and no longer get that message with
upgrade.  We only have one problem message with 4.2.2 but there is a fix
for it.  When it's a PTF we will put it in.  It is;   ANR9999D
ASALLOC(663): ThreadId<5155> Volume 1XXXXX being accessed remotely - ending
repair attempt when the server real busy.  It hasn't caused any harm, PTR
say it is harmless.  I do an audit on the volume fix=yes just in case when
it does happen.

Good morning,

 We are running TSM 4.2.1.15 on OS/390 2.10 and are having several issues.
One of these is poor performance since upgrading from 4.2.2.0 to 4.2.1.15.
Also we are receiving the following error message after issuing an update
storage pool command:


ANR9999D SSUTIL(943): ThreadId<15401> Lock acquisition (ixLock) failed for
SS
universe lock.
ANR2753I (DAILY_APL_MIGRATION_AVOID):ANR2033E UPDATE STGPOOL:
ANR2753I (DAILY_APL_MIGRATION_AVOID):Command failed - lock conflict.

 This condition seems to occur when we are in a heavy backup period, which
since upgrading to 4.2.1.15 is very often. I need to test 4.2.2.0 before
upgrading to that release, we applied the 4.2.1.15 fix level at the
recommendation of Tivoli even thought 4.2.2.0 was available.  Is anyone
running 4.2.2.0 on OS/390 2.10 and if so have you run into any gotcha's?

 Thanks for  any input.

 - Brian
