Kerry,

On the ADSM Scheduler increased the Minimum memory allocation so that it
equaled the Suggested Size (1500).  And I increased the Preferred Size to
2500.  The looping problem I was experienced was actually due to the fact
that my backup window was so small (checking every 10 minutes) that as soon
as the backup was complete it would start all over again.  The ADSM
administrators fixed that problem for me.  So with this fixed and the ADSM
Scheduler's memory adjsuted everything is working fine!!!

I hope this helps you in your troubleshooting.

Tom

P.S.  You may need to allocate more memory than I did if you have extensive
volumes.
