Hi guys! Thanks for all suggestions! We found the cause: in our case TSM is running on a cluster, controlled by Veritas. So TSM is started by the Veritas Cluster Services (VCS). Although the VCS executes the startup script through root, it uses its own environment. When you update environment variables, like the max open files, one has to stop/start the VCS service before the changes are picked up... So we did and now it's working fine. Kind regards, Eric van Loon Air France/KLM Storage Engineering
