If you're starting dsmserv from /etc/inittab check to see if you have it
set to respawn. If it is, change the inittab entry, refresh inittab by
issuing the "telinit q" command and then try killing it.

I did that, look below:

root@cdesrv1:/var/adm

When trying to kill the ./dsmserv, I can't kill it.  I still see it running
with a ps command.

Any ideas??
