Hello, Ethan.  I've not seen this.  Do they run if you start them manually?  
How about if you remove 6.2.4.4 and backlevel to 6.2.0.0 to match the working 
box?

Subject: [ADSM-L] Multiple stanzas unusable: "/usr/bin/dsmc already running."

Dear List,

for a client with large filespaces, we would like to split the backup up into 
several nodes in order to balance the load. On the basis of the TSM-client 
documentation we created several stanzas in the dsm.sys file with different 
servername entries. In the init-script several dsmc processes are started with 
the -servername option referring to those stanzas. Now everything works fine 
with a 6.2.0.0 client (all processes are started and are backing up as 
expected).

On a very similar box with client version 6.2.4.4 something goes wrong:
Some dsmc processes are started successfully, some are not, the numbers vary. 
So there could be some runtime condition. The error message (printed on stdout) 
is: "/usr/bin/dsmc already running."

Has anybody observed this issue and knows about a solution?

Best regards,

Ethan
