Hello,

Recently one of our AIX administrators upgraded the TSM client to 7.1.4.4 on 
her servers. Many of them started receiving errors like

calloc() failed: Size 31496 File ../mem/mempool.cpp Line 1092

I looked this up and the indication is that the AIX server could not supply 
enough memory to TSM to complete the backup. We opened a ticket and were told 
to try memoryefficientbackup with diskcachemethod. This did not fix the issue.

In frustration the administrator reinstalled a TSM client version of 6.4.2.0 
and is no longer experiencing the memory problems.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Pam
