I've seen this twice, at different sites, and hope somebody can tell me what to pursue.
TSM VE 6.4.0.0 is installed in a Win2K8-64 VM. The plug-in server is running there, also the TSM Scheduler service that acts as the data mover, and the VE recovery agent. For the purposes of this discussion, assume that the VSphere client is also running there, although the same thing occurs if the VSphere client is running elsewhere. The VM has no other apps installed on it, it's only purpose in life is to serve up TSM/VE. There are no backups or restores running in the plug-in or the scheduler service at the time this happens. The plug-in works fine for days or weeks. Then CPU utilization goes to 100%, so that starting the plug-in (via the VSphere client) takes > 10 minutes. (Same is true if VSphere client is started elsewhere, it takes forever to get the plug-in displayed because the VE server is choked.) Task Manager shows that the culprit is javaw.exe*32, hogging 99% of the CPU. And it just runs and runs and runs. I don't know what is doing it. It cranks up, stops for a while sometimes, then starts again. Rebooting the plug-in server doesn't change things. javaw.exe*32 cranks up again, hogs the machine. The circumvention is to use task manager to kill off the javaw.exe*32 process. It spawns another, you kill it, it spawns another, you kill it, etc. etc. Eventually, it stops spawning more and you get an html error "cannot display" on the plug-in. Then you restart the plug-in, then everything is fine. javaw.exe*32 hangs around, but is well-behaved thereafter. Until the next time. Since there is nothing else on this VM, I have to assume it's something in derby or the other plug-in infrastructure that is turning java into a demon daemon. What's weird is that a reboot of the VM doesn't usually cure it, it has some recollection of something it thinks it needs to do. Anybody seen this before, or can give me a clue where to look?
