We've been running prompted mode backups for a few months and have been
running the AIX TSM Server 5.1.6.2 for about a month and life has been
good.  Last night, NONE of our prompted mode backups started.  There
were no server side "ANR2561I Schedule prompter contacting VHOST3
(session 23462) to start a scheduled operation." messages that we
normally get at the start of the backup window.  Other than backups not
being started, the server appears to be responding normally and complete
the daily administrative tasks without error.   There are no entries in
the client dsmsched or dsmerror logs for the clients that did not run.
Our lone polling mode backup did run normally.

Any ideas what might have caused this or things to look for?  I've sent
logs to TSM support and if no one comes up with things to check, we'll
restart the server before tonights backups and hope that clears things.
