TSM server 5.5.1, AIX 5.3

Hello,

We had an interesting/aggravating problem on out TSM server recently. I
thought that I'd pass it along, it case it's of interest to anyone. The
summary version:

Oct 8  15:41 Started estimate dbreorg process
Oct 9  07:56 Discovered that "server performance may be degraded" was an
understatement, and canceled process
Oct 10 10:15 After a second night of failed backups, rebooted the server

No problems since.

Our activity log goes back 90 days, and there are no other occurrences
of messages 0536 or 0538.
