Hi Craig,

The error you are getting is because you are using shared memory as your
communication method. As I understand it (I haven't played with shared
memory myself), you must be logged on as root to use it. If you changed
your commmethod to TCPIP, all should be OK. Of course, that is ignoring
any performance implications of doing the swap.

        Hi Folks,

        I've got ADSM V2.1.18 running on AIX 4.2.1
        Im trying to run the following command within a script

        dsmadmc -id=operator -password=***** 'delete volhistory
todate=today-5
        type=dbbackup'

        When I run this as root it works fine with the above ADSM ID.
However, when I
        try to use a different unix logon id it comes up with the
following error.

        ANS4475E Insufficient authority to connect to the shared memory
region
        ANS5519E Unable to establish session with server.

        Same when I try to do a BACKUP DB command

        ADSM id operator is set up as an administrator
        I've tried adding all unix groups to the user authority group
set but doesn't
        help. Do I have to be logged in as root to run
        this command or is there some file I need to adjust the
permissons on. I
        thought it may be the dsmserv.opt file but didn't work.

        Any clues out there??
