Re: cannot run command
Hello all, Unfortunately when i came in office today the other guy rebooted the server and now its ok.So the problem is resolved but i dont know how could we have solved it without reboot. Well thanks everyone for your suggestions!!

I've had the server process become selectively and increasingly unresponsive, to the point where sometimes the only way to get it down is with a kill -TERM. It most often happens when I do storage-related queries while waiting for a tape operation, or database-heavy operations while running a nasty select, or especially, when I've got a tape that's being checked in or out with no checkin or checkout running. Since the server is responsing to you still in some degree, if you can get a brief window for a halt/start, you'll be able to clear it up quickly. When it's like that, commonly the listener on 1500 stays open long after the dsmserv process is gone, so wait for that to go away. tcon...@lusgr0099v2zlv /home/tconwayssh tsmserv netstat -an|grep 1500.*LIST Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. tcp4 0 0 *.1500 *.* LISTEN tcon...@lusgr0099v2zlv /home/tconway If you try to start the server process before that port is available, the start will fail.

Re: cannot run command
What are the other two TSM instances doing? I'm assuming they share the Library and drives right? It could be that this TSM instance is just waiting for access to the drives. Also what state were some of the sessions in? Like media wait running etc. I usually see this behavior when something is waiting for the library and it's taking its time.

Re: cannot run command
No, we're not sugarcoating anything. The Library itself has a web interface, that displays pretty much everything and anything you need to know about it. It will display drive error numbers, mounts, cleaning tape usage, etc. It may be you have tape drives that are needing to be cleaned, and are waiting on a cleaning tape to be mounted. Sometimes there are tapes that are sitting in the drives for one reason or another where they shouldn't be, or a picker might have a tape stuck in it, or a I/O door may have been left open. So, the best route is to go to the web interface and check for errors, look at the drives' status, the io status, etc. See Ya' Howard -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Kamran Rao Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 11:10 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] cannot run command I find this strange that you don't have any processes running at this time where you have 3 TSM instances.

Re: cannot run command
Hello, Ashish.
I've seen this before in library manager environments. Usually I
recommend people bring down all their TSM servers, then on each TSM
server's host, delete their device files (rmt* and smc*), run cfgmgr to
redetect, restart TSM, and update their paths. It's the surest fix.
If you want to spend the time to troubleshoot and find out what broke,
try this, then send us the output of the lsdev command again. This will
set each device to defined and then back to available. If they stay
defined, then those device files have a problem. This shouldn't affect
devices already in use - it should just say device busy or something
like that. Note: You will probably have to do this on all your TSM
servers' hosts.

Re: cannot run command
Hi Asish,
One other issue I have seen is where the drive on the control path gets a
tape stuck in it. TSM (or the driver) continually retries on the drive,
and until each retry attempt times out the control path is unresponsive to
commands, The indicator here is repeated entries in the AIX error log.

Re: cannot run command
Ashish: Your situation is somewhat familiar to me. I've had the server process become selectively and increasingly unresponsive, to the point where sometimes the only way to get it down is with a kill -TERM. It most often happens when I do storage-related queries while waiting for a tape operation, or database-heavy operations while running a nasty select, or especially, when I've got a tape that's being checked in or out with no checkin or checkout running. Since the server is responsing to you still in some degree, if you can get a brief window for a halt/start, you'll be able to clear it up quickly. When it's like that, commonly the listener on 1500 stays open long after the dsmserv process is gone, so wait for that to go away. tcon...@lusgr0099v2zlv /home/tconwayssh tsmserv netstat -an|grep 1500.*LIST Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. tcp4 0 0 *.1500 *.* LISTEN tcon...@lusgr0099v2zlv /home/tconway If you try to start the server process before that port is available, the start will fail.

Re: cannot run command
Hello Guys, I will try the things today in ofice and will let you know the status asap.For sure, i am confident that rebooting and restarting the tsm server will solve the issue but at this point of time i am not in favour of this.

I've had the server process become selectively and increasingly unresponsive, to the point where sometimes the only way to get it down is with a kill -TERM. It most often happens when I do storage-related queries while waiting for a tape operation, or database-heavy operations while running a nasty select, or especially, when I've got a tape that's being checked in or out with no checkin or checkout running.
