the conslog shows:

1148172312 May 20 20:45:12 tsmserv syslog:err|error syslogd: unkn
own priority name "*": errno = 2

the entry in /etc/inittab  has remained much the same since ADSM 3

TSM was upgraded and brought up prior to the AIX  upgrade, so it
appears to be something related to the AIX upgrade.

Without resulting messages or AIX Error Log problem indications, we
can't provide a lot of assistance, but these thoughts...

  - It's not a good idea to direct service messages to the console,
    both because they become lost and because there can be issues
    with the console.  It's better to have like:
     /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmserv >> /var/log/tsmserv/
tsmserv.log 2>&1

  - Starting an application like TSM from inittab can be
problematic...
    The relative position can be an issue, as for example being too
early in
    the system start sequence such that volumes are not yet ready.
Though the
    position may look okay, the subsystem starts may be asynchronous,
and your
    process ends up in a race with other establishment processes.
    Further, by starting from Init, you may not have needed
environment
    variables in effect, which are in a login session. (You can
compensate for
    this by modifying rc.adsmserv.)

Look through your /var/adm/ras/conslog (if not over-cycled) and other
logging areas for substantive evidence of the problem.
