PK94073: THE DSMSERV LIBRARY CLIENT PROCESS MAY APPEAR TO HANG WHEN STARTING UP

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During the start up of the dsmserv (library client) the 'storage
  service' component is started before the 'session manager'
  component. The 'storage service' component may find scratch
  volumes to be deleted which are managed by a library manager.
  The 'storage service' component will enter a waiting state
  because the 'session manager' component is not ready and a
  connection to the library manager cannot be made to delete the
  scratch volumes.
  L2 Diagnostics:
  Error messages may be seen in the activity log or at the console
  during the time period in which the TSM server was starting up
  as follows:
  ANR0454E Session rejected by server TSMLIBMGR, reason:
  Communication Failure.
  

Local fix

• After a timeout has occurred the TSM server will continue and
  startup successfully. The amount of time required for the
  timeout will vary depending on the number of scratch volumes
  that are pending deletion.
