Closed as program error.
Error description
For 7.1.x and 8.1.x server upgrades, it is required that the "dsmserv" server process is stopped beforehand. During the upgrade there is a check that runs to determine if "dsmserv" process is running. If it is running, the upgrade will stop, as server process needs to be stopped. But, if "dsmserv" is running with arguments, the check will fail. ie ps -ef | grep dsmserv /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv -i /filsystem/instance_directory -q In the Installation Manager logs, it will be seen: INFO: com.tivoli.dsm.prereq.server.ServerRunningCheck.checkServerLinux Unix(212 ) : RC is not 0 when issue ps -ef | grep dsmserv$ | grep -v grep | grep -v jre | grep -v install.sh. RC is 1 RC 1 means that the check determined that the "dsmserv" process is not running, even when it is. Thus the upgrade continues. IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected: Server 7.1.x and 8.1.x on all supported Unix and Linux platforms Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TSM IBM Spectrum Protect upgrade process checker prereq
Local fix
Stop the server process before running upgrade.
