When you reboot is the scheduler running ?  Is your control file coded to 
include password or not?  Or, is it coded for Generate...In this case you must 
manually launch a backup one time to input password for the node being backup.  
If scheduler is running and everything else ok, sounds like the node being 
backup is not part of a schedule...

Just Thoughts ...Regards

    We recently began using adsm with the server on an IBM RS6000
    box.  Now I have a fundamental question:

    To restart the client portion of adsm, the manual says to
    include the following line in /etc/inittab:

     adsm::once:/usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1

    However, when we reboot, this doesn't seem to work. The backups
    will not commence unless I manually issue the 'dsmc sched' command.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.
