Without details on how the non-standard start was attempted or the
errors encountered, I can only generally advise...  In AIX, at least,
the rc.adsmserv start-up script supplied in the server directory
performs a cd to the server directory before invoking the dsmserv
module, for the simple reason that many of the resources needed for
server execution reside there, most obviously the licenses file and
the national languages messages repository.  I believe that the Linux
TSM server start-up script is called dsmserv.rc, and would expect it
to also include a cd to its server directory.  Also available to the
customer are the DSMSERV_DIR and DSMSERV_CONFIG environment
variables, mostly used for an alternate server, as documented in the
Admin Guide manual.

Hi,

Does anyone have ideas about the reasons for non - starting of TSM
server
from default prompt, even after defining the same in path of the
server?

Facing this problem in Linux and TSM version is 5.3.3, but it can
be started
from installation directory.

Another problem is configuration of history in TSM server, as I
have to
retype the commands again and again in the same login session.
