Thank you for the reply. Your second paragraph is precisely the reason for my
question - the instance was not starting correctly thus not logging any
information to the screen or activity log. Not until I started it in the
foreground did I realize the extent of the failures.
Thanks I will consult the admin guide.

Hi, Dave.
Not that I know of. Since you're on AIX, I recommend piping your
dsmserv output to dsmulog. This will store the output in rotating log
files that you can check. It doesn't, however, fit your criteria of
only logging during startup. On the "plus" side, I find using awk,
grep, or a text editor to inspect those log files makes troubleshooting
much faster and easier than using "query actlog" commands.
Also, there are times when TSM crashes that it is not able to write the
reason to the activity log. Dsmulog is an excellent way to capture that
data for troubleshooting purposes.
You can read more about dsmulog in the TSM for AIX Admin Reference.

Subject: [ADSM-L] viewing logs on TSM instance startup
TSM 5.4.2
AIX 5.3 TL8
Is there a way to view the logs when starting up a TSM instance to make
sure there were no initialization errors but not capture all activity
after startup? I normally start the instance with the following command
which allows me to exit my telnet session but does not allow me to view
the status of the startup
/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/tsmX/rc.tsmserv &
There is also an option specified in my /etc/inittab to start each
instance but I am not always ready to start them on bootup, however this
too does not allow me to see any of the startup messages or errors?
tsmXsrvr:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/tsmX/rc.tsmserv >/dev/console
2>&1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
