We have had two occurrences in the last two weeks of 1,500+ dsmscoutd
processes initiating and effectively crashing our system. The parent
dmcscoutd process, seems to start 2 new son (dmcscoutd) processes every
10 seconds, and continues to do this until the system hangs.

Has anyone experienced this issue ? If so, were you able to determine
the reason this many scout processes were started ?


Client OS = AIX 5.1
TSM Client Code = 5.1
TSM Server Code = 5.1

Thanks,
Mark.
