Your Q SE command shows it has only been in the recvW state for 2
seconds.  Are you sure it isn't doing anything?

I'm probably annoying the hell out of you all, but I'm really stuck, and I
need someones help.

Running ADSM serv 3.1 on AIX 4.3.3 with 3575 tape library.

I'm trying to restore a filesystem. I first tried running dsm on the
client, the process starts, and it starts restoring the directory
structure (or whatever its doing), but after a minute or two it just
hangs. The restore is not active anymore, and it changes its state to
"restorable", and the Sess State changes from Run to RecvW:

adsm> q se

  Sess Comm.  Sess     Wait   Bytes   Bytes Sess  Platform Client Name
Number Method State    Time    Sent   Recvd Type
------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ------- ----- --------

adsm> q rest

  Sess    Restore        Elapsed    Node Name                    Filespace

------    -----------    -------    -------------------------

    -1    Restartable          2    HERA.ITG.UIUC.EDU
/home/mac/-
                                                                  tate

Now, from previous posts help, I also tried using the incremental restore.
On the client command line I ran the following command:

#dsmc restore "home/mac/tate/*" -replace=no -subdir=yes

This has the exact same result as the other restore. It goes for a minute
or two and then it hangs, and becomes a restartable session with a state
of RecvW.

BTW, the dsmadmc -console windows shows absolutetly NO errors. It puts two
tapes into the drives, takes them out, then just sits there. NO errors!

Does anyone have any ideas? If I should give more info please let me know.
I'm totally stuck, and everyone is getting pissed at me.

Thanks in advance,

Alex
