Guys,

Why to wonder which is the filesystem filled, it is so simple - /usr.
1. AIX was recently upgraded. If upgrade filesets are committed the 
increase in /usr usage is small. If "apply and save replaced files" you 
will get nearly twice the size.
2. TSM is installed in /usr/tivoli/tsm/server, /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba, 
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api, /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/domino, etc. If nobody 
have created separate filesystem /usr/tivoli then the filesystem on which 
TSM resides easily can be filled.
3. Default directory for server log files is /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin and 
default client log files are /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmerror.log and 
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmsched.log
4. Default DB, LOG and STGPOOL volumes on install are also in 
/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin. And even when they are deleted from TSM the 
files *are not* deleted from the filesystem.

So the conclusion - /usr is filled and most probably the problem is that 
event cannot be logged and server is blocked.
Resolution(s):
- cleanup some logs there
- commit AIX fileset updates (TSM ones also. Tivoli recommends to apply 
them and save files but why to keep 3.7.0 files when you are running 3.7.2 
for long time)
- check for db.dsm, log.dsm, etc. in /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin and delete 
all but tivready.dsm (or even it if do not intend to use Tivoli Inventory)
- remove all unnecessary AIX filesets - X11.msg.ja_JP.*, bos.msg.de_DE.*, 
bos.html.fr_FR.*, etc. At least in our country factory preloaded RS/6000s 
are comming with all AIX languages installed. People around the world use 
them but for sure neither you nor they need all the languages to be 
installed.
- if you have more than one AIX box there is no need HTML docs & help to be 
installed on each. Just setup one as "Documentation and Search Server" and 
remove help files from others.
- as a *VERY LAST* resort increase size of the filesystem. All filesystems 
but / and /usr can be dismounted, deleted, created smaller and data copied 
back. The only way to shrink /usr filesystem is to re-install AIX from 
mksysb !!!

All this is AIX stuff but affects TSM as in your case.

Subject:        TSM server not responding...



We have a TSM 4.3.3.0 and using AIX 3.7.2.0.
�
We recently upgraded our TSM level from 4.3.2.0 to 4.3.3.0 .
�
On the AIX side, I'm receiving an error message:��� THERE IS NOT ENOUGH 
SPACE IN THE FILE SYSTEM
�
At this point, we are unable to perform any activities.
�
Can anyone assist me on where to check for this problem and what's a remedy 
for it?
