Change the "once" to "off" in the inittab entry.  I'm not sure if the
installation/upgrade process will change it back or not, though.

But don't do this if the running dsmserv was started by that autosrvr
entry, or init will kill the running server!

(Related trick for starting the TSM server after a TSM halt without
 rebooting or manually running the dsmserv process:  change the "2"
 to "2a" in inittab, then use "telinit a" to make init start the TSM
 server the same way it would at boot.)
