Trouble shooting LOCKs for TSM version 5

[LarryB]

Hi all,

I have an apparent deadlock conflict. I have performed a SHOW LOCKS but returned cryptic information. I have done some reserach, but can't find any methodology related to troubleshoot this issue.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

regards

Can you give us some more information about what you are attempting to do. i.e. - run multiple commands in parrallel, etc. Here is what I found on the error:

ANR2033E Command: Command failed - lock conflict.
Explanation: A server command that requires the
server to lock a system resource has been entered. The
command cannot be executed because the resource is
already in use by another command or process.
System Action: The server does not process the command.
User Response: Try the command again at a later time.

There appears to be some contention on some specfic tables in the TSM database based on the message given. Though, I can find nothing specific in actlog. Some functionality available, some not. For example if I q node ... or q devclass no response. Yet, other selects on tables work. Typical of deadlock situation. My guess is SHOW LOCKS is a good start, though hard to de-cypher. Looking for a process to id source and fix.

I am not sure what caused this other than housekeeping (and backup) jobs running into one another
