I just upgraded a Linux server from 6.3.4.200 to 6.3.5.100 and also see
2-dsmserv processes:

# ps -ef | grep dsmse
root      3008     1  0 10:05 pts/1    00:00:00 su - tsminst1 -c
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv  -i /home/tsminst1 -q
tsminst1  3103  3008  0 10:05 ?        00:00:00
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv -i /home/tsminst1 -q

Has anyone determined if this is the new "normal"?
