The command 'systemctl status tsminst1' may fail to display status.

Symptom

If you use the systemctl command to manage TSM service, you have to update the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/tsminst1. Unless you don't update it, the command 'systemctl status <instance name>' always displays the status 'Active: failed' incorrectly even if the TSM Server process correctly started by the command 'systemctl start <instance name>'.

# systemctl status tsminst1 -l
* tsminst1.service - SYSV: Starts/Stops an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server instance
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/tsminst1)
   Active: failed (Result: resources) since Mon yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss JST; n weeks m days ago

.......

You may find APAR IT16102, and update the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/tsminst1 according to the local fix of IT16102, as below:

(From:)
# pidfile: /var/run/dsmserv_instancename.pid

(To:)
# pidfile: /var/run/dsmserv_tsminst1.pid

However, you may still fails to display the status. The command 'systemctl status <instance name>' may still displays the incorrect status 'Active: failed'.

# systemctl status tsminst1 -l
* tsminst1.service - SYSV: Starts/Stops an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server instance
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/tsminst1)
   Active: failed (Result: resources) since Mon yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss JST; n weeks m days ago
