Re: Real DR situation : dsmserv format fails; errno = 2 !

You have had some sessions attempting to connect to your TSM service whilst
the restore was taking place.

When ever I have run dsmserv interactively for maintenance, I get automated
sessions on various clients attempting to connect and I get exactly the same
errors.
If you know of any such clients in your environment you could check their
logs to see if they failed to connect during your restore.
