Richard, thank you for replying. I don't do much with the server end, but
will take your advice and gather some information from the TSM server
activity log. No other server client is exhibiting this error (out of 400+)
so I spent most of my time troubleshooting the client. I have the network
group sniffing packets this morning.

I can't believe I forgot to include the server/client versions (I know
better than that)!  Our versions are:

TSM Server v5.1.1.5
AIX Server v4.3.3
BA Client v5.1.5

Again, thank you for your response.

The 10058 is: Cannot send after socket shutdown.  A request to send or
receive data was disallowed because the socket had already been shut
down in that direction with a previous shutdown call. By calling
shutdown a partial close of a socket is requested, which is a signal
that sending or receiving or both has been discontinued.

This is just a physical indication of loss of session.  There is likely
a logical cause, which in turn may be incited by physical events.
Naturally, whereas TSM is a client-server arrangement, just looking at
the client error log isn't going to give you the whole picture: you
need to look at the TSM server Activity Log to also see what it has to
say about the session.

As always, you'll gain perspective by determining when this started
happening and then examining client/server conditions and/or your site
change control log to see what may have incited the circumstance.
Your posting fails to specify client or server software levels, so we
can't offer much about the effect of any given release level.
It may simply be that your server needs settings adjustment, or there
is a troublesome drive, etc.  You need to gather more information.
