Richard,

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.   We have a tried a few of your
suggestions.    IBM TSM support did have us run the following show
commands.    I just tried to run 'show memory' on this server and had to
break out of the command because it began to cause failures with object
retrievals memory/paging.        AIX is having us run perfpmr  as the next
troubleshooting step so hopefully that will help us get down to the bottom
of the memory hog.     IBM did have us run a few commands that I left out
from original email.


1. restart the dsmserv process
2. collect the output of 'SHOW ALLOC' one time per hour for the next 48
hours. Also collect AIX command output for 'ps aux | grep dsmserv' at the
same time.
3. at the end of step 2 collect the last 48 hours of unfiltered activity
log

Re: [ADSM-L] Memory Issue:  Since Upgrading TSM Server from 5.2 to TSM 5.5
and installation of Centera SDK 3.2.1 - anyone experiencing similar
problem?






Nancy -

Confer with your AIX people on identifying processes using the most
memory in your server system, where 'ps' and various other monitoring
facilities can report what's using what.

In TSM, you can use the SHow MEMory command to report a summary of
memory usage and the SHow ALLOC command to report by module.  SHow
THReads will report what threads are in play.

Also, note that you are running base level TSM code, with no
maintenance, which is not a good idea.
