Could log in I could admin wise do everything but something with the tape drives, volumes or library. A show deadlock shows no deadlocks. I tried canceling processes and sessions but they wouldn't end. My only theory is that I do a force drives on once a day and I think every so often it just catches and hangs on. Does that sound logical? Becky

Take a look at what the lock is. You can also issue show threads. If possible start canceling processes and sessions. -- Joshua S.

I can do all commands but things like q dr q libv q library I only have one lmcpd running and I have another tsm server on the same box that is not having any problems. Any suggestions?

What I found out was, I had 2 lmcpd daemons running. No library communication from TSM, I could see the Library from AIX. (TSM got confused and hung itself) That does not seem to be the case for you unless you shutdown the physical server? . ? When it came back up it started fresh daemons ?? I killed te daemon processes, then halted TSM and brought it back up. Worked for me. Gabriel C.

It opened 10 of 11 threads and then did absolutely nothing else. Other processes started during the night and anything that did not require a tape drive ran and completed successfully (dr tape courier to vault, expiration, various admin commands) but anything that needed a drive opened and did nothing more. I discovered it Sunday morning around 11 by logging in, noticing the problem and doing a q dr. It never returned. I have had a similar situation before and my experience has said if you do a q dr and it doesn't return recycle the TSM Server. I did that and everything continued to normal but I have no idea why this happened. I am honestly not sure where to look. Is it TDP? Is it the TSM Server? Is it something to do with the tape drives? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Becky Davidson Data Manager/AIX Administrator EDS/Sara Lee Bakery Group voice: 314-259-7589 fax: 314-877-8589 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
