Hi guys and girls,

we are running weekly offline backups of a DB2 database ver 7.1.0.65 EEE on
AIX. The server is a NSM at 4.1.6.0 and the clients at 3.7.2.0. The last
backup failed on one of the nodes showing lots of these entries in the
dsmerror.log:

sessInit: Starting communications initialization
01/19/03   17:59:29 sessInit: Transitioning: sInit state ===> sTRANSERR
state

Can someone explain to me what this means? I searched this list and found
this question being asked a couple of times but there was never an answer
to it.

The only hint I was able to find was in DB2's diag logs:

Anyone there to translate??
