Error description

  • IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments 8.1.15 can crash
    in dsmcad, dsmagent, dsmc, or dsmcsvc. A crash can happen
    randomly and at any time during the operation.
    
    
    The stack traces found in the dsmcrash.log can vary, but one or
    more entries ending with "N_lib_init()+n bytes" is
    representative of the problem.
