I have an issue with my TSM server's local client.  When I kick off a
trivial backup (dsmc sel foo) I see a delay of 2.5 minutes before it
starts sending data.  No messages in dsmerror.log.  The server activity
log shows the first session, a 2.5 minute pause, then a second session,
then the report for the backup immediately follows associated with the
first session:

12/06/05   06:53:13  ANR0406I Session 5 started for node RS4 (AIX)
(Tcp/Ip

                      rs4(42985)). (SESSION: 5)

12/06/05   06:55:49  ANR0406I Session 6 started for node RS4 (AIX)
(Tcp/Ip

                      rs4(42992)). (SESSION: 6)

12/06/05   06:55:49  ANR0403I Session 6 ended for node RS4 (AIX).
(SESSION: 6)

Same effect with both TCP and ShareMem.  A Windows client to the same
server starts immediately, I don't have another AIX box to try.  Backup
is to a diskpool.

 

Server/Client info:

IBM pSeries 630

AIX 5.3 ML1

TSM server 5.3.1.0
