Hi experts,
After checking the logs it has been observed that dsm generated an core dump on one of the backup node.
What could be the possible reasons for the same?
Any suggestions or ideas are welcome? ... SIGNAL NUMBER 6 ...
When posting, include your TSM level so that we can provide reasonable advice.
I'm not aware of a Signal 6 (user abort) occurring beyond the TSM 4.1 level. It might be a response to encountering a truncated control file (client options file) or an artificial virtual memory exhaustion condition. Look to the client dsmerror.log for possible error indications. The server Activity Log might happen to have some info.
The usual problem analysis approach, of course, asks if the backup has been going well over time until now, and then would seek environmental changes which caused the aberrant behavior. Did a client option or Include/ Exclude change? You may be able to boost your maintenance level within whatever version/release you are running, but ascertaining cause will help avoid potential recurrence.
