We have a node that has not completed successfully the last two days

the dsmcad services both times, Any suggestions on why this would
occur suddenly.

Do 'errpt -a | less' on that AIX client to get some perspective on
the demise of the dsmcad process: if a segfault, the client session
may need a Unix Resource Limits (stacksize) boost for it to handle
the Active files inventory that it receives from the server, as a
circumvention for a problem which is reportable, or for which you may
try a client software level boost.  The AIX process accounting
records will also show when the process died, and if any signals
involved.  A look at recent client scheduler logs or server Activity
Log ANE messages will give you a sense of how much it is trying to
deal with in recent backups.  The current scheduler log will give you
a sense of where in a file system it was when it failed, so you can
inspect for volumetric issues.  You can also inspect the TSM client
ManagedServices log (as in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/
dsmwebcl.log) for its info.  Basically, look around.
