Probably it isn't so simple but what is "volume of clients" and is it more
than MAXSessions option in your dsmserv.opt (default is 25 if not set) ?

Subject:        listener not listening

AIX4.3.3/TSM4.2.1.7

The main listener on port 1500 of our TSM server is open but not
acknowledging
when clients connect. They hang on "SYN_RCVD"

Actually, it only allows a small proportion of connections.

When the TSM server starts up, everything works as normal. But when a
volume of
clients start connecting, it virtually stops all new connections.

Any clients that can successfully connect, operate as normal.

I've checked if any other services in the OS that may be listening on that
port and have been sniffing the interface for unusual traffic. Nothing
unusual
has been found.

Anyone have similar probs?

Cheers, Suad
