DSMC autostart after AIX server reboot

[pdperkins]

I have several AIX clients that will not start the client after a reboot. I entered a line in /etc/inittab to start the dsmc scheduler. However the client does not start. Does anyone use a script from /etc/rc.local to start the client scheduler?

Whats the line you put in inittab?

And what is the output from it when it runs (redirect stdout and stderr to a file)

Are you using generated passwords?

Here's what we use

tsm:2:respawn:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched >/dev/null 2>&1

I know it's set to "respawn".....it's just what we do here, but it does start it successfully on boot/reboot. Maybe it will work for you. If you don't like "respawn", try "once" or "boot".

I agree with "billcarlson"....it sounds like maybe it's not doing an auto generate of password which could be a problem in auto starting the client.

in 5.3.x clients (I don't remember which one) if dsm.sys has not contains errorlogname and schedlogname lines, scheduler service not starts from inittab. put these lines with proper paths and names of your logs and also use passwordaccess generate
