dsmwatchd spams console with "cannot initialize the DMAPI interface" message

[murzic]

Hello

I installed TSM Server 5.5.5
Then I Installed HSM client on it.

After I try to start HSM daemon

# /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/hsm/bin/dsmwatchd nodetach &
And this program starts spam my console with this message

May be this is GPFS error?
My GPFS works, but getstate return tha GPFS state is down

# mmgetstate -a

Node number Node name GPFS state
------------------------------------------
1 media3 down

# mmstartup -a
Sun May 29 15:41:38 MSD 2011: mmstartup: Starting GPFS ...
media3: The GPFS subsystem is already active.

# mmgetstate -a

Node number Node name GPFS state
------------------------------------------
1 media3 down

I fixed problem with GPFS

# mmgetstate -a

Node number Node name GPFS state
------------------------------------------
1 media3 active

But problem is still happenes.
I found that DMAPI is not enabled on my GPFS volume

# mmlsfs /dev/fs1 -z
flag value description
------------------- ------------------------ -----------------------------------
-z no Is DMAPI enabled?

But when I try to change this flag I can't mount fs

# mmumount /dev/fs1
Tue May 31 09:30:10 MSD 2011: mmumount: Unmounting file systems ...

# mmchfs /dev/fs1 -z yes

# mmmount /dev/fs1

mmmount: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine cause.

# mmchfs /dev/fs1 -z no

# mmmount /dev/fs1
Tue May 31 09:30:46 MSD 2011: mmmount: Mounting file systems ...

I can't mount fs when DMAPI is enabled.

I solved this problem
My HSM TSM version is not compatible with the used GPFS version:
