Richard, Thanks for the reply and suggestions. We have a tried a few of your suggestions. IBM TSM support did have us run the following show commands. I just tried to run 'show memory' on this server and had to break out of the command because it began to cause failures with object retrievals memory/paging. AIX is having us run perfpmr as the next troubleshooting step so hopefully that will help us get down to the bottom of the memory hog. IBM did have us run a few commands that I left out from original email.
1. restart the dsmserv process 2. collect the output of 'SHOW ALLOC' one time per hour for the next 48 hours. Also collect AIX command output for 'ps aux | grep dsmserv' at the same time. 3. at the end of step 2 collect the last 48 hours of unfiltered activity log Nancy Backhaus Enterprise Systems HealthNow, NY 716-887-7979 Richard Sims <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> 07/28/2008 11:03 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject Re: [ADSM-L] Memory Issue: Since Upgrading TSM Server from 5.2 to TSM 5.5 and installation of Centera SDK 3.2.1 - anyone experiencing similar problem? Nancy - Confer with your AIX people on identifying processes using the most memory in your server system, where 'ps' and various other monitoring facilities can report what's using what. In TSM, you can use the SHow MEMory command to report a summary of memory usage and the SHow ALLOC command to report by module. SHow THReads will report what threads are in play. Also, note that you are running base level TSM code, with no maintenance, which is not a good idea.
