Hi,

dsmc will hang at startup if one of the mounted filesystems is not responding even if that filesystem is not specified in the dsm.opt file.

Hi Javier,
Would you kindly be a little more explicit by what you mean? The admin ran ‘dsmc incr’ 
as root from an OS command line. Do you mean something different than that? We’ll be glad to 
try it.
Thank you,
Keith

try executing dsmc since command line, perhaps be a problem with some

A Linux client has been missing its scheduled backups.  The TSM client is
at version s 6.4.0.0, and our TSM server is running 7.1.1.108 on a Redhat 6
OS,

The client admin reports that it hangs immediately when dsmc is started,
but the admin can telnet successfully from the client to to the TSM server
over ports 1500 and 1542, so we have crossed ‘firewall problem’ off the
list of possible causes.

'ssl yes’ and ‘ssl fipsmode yes’ are specified in dsm.sys, but the admin
tried commenting out ‘sslfipsmode yes’ and running dsmc —with the same
result.

dsmerror.log is empty, and there are no recent messages in dsmwebcl.log.

The admin reports that selinux is running, but that ’nothing has changed’
in its configuration recently.  Since backups had been runining
successfully till a week ago, certainly something has changed, but we can’t
find it.

Where else should we look for the cause of the immediate hang when dsmc is
started?

With many thanks,
