I certainly hope TSM 6.2 does not need to be restarted.  I am just getting it 
installed.

If you are seeing a performance drop after it runs a long time ('long time' is 
variable, here 'a while' is 6 months) you should open a PMR to get the problem 
documented and fixed.

I do not subscribe to the 'restart just because' theory.  I have run systems 
for years without a restart, including Windows.  My only Windows TSM server has 
only been up a little while, it was installed in December.  The AIX ones have 
been up a while or longer.

Are you seeing a performance problem?

Our servers, all Windows, run with a once/month restart.  That happens when I 
apply Windows updates.

Not all Windows updates require a boot, but I take advantage of the event to do 
a quick restart while clients are aware I'm doing maintenance.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM 6.2 server restarts

We have fairly recently started running a TSM 6.2.2.0 server under
zSeries Linux. Some of my co-workers have brought up the idea of
scheduling periodic restarts of the server code for performance
reasons. Are other TSM 6.2 sites seeing any sign of performance
problems resulting from long periods of continuous operation?
