DB2 restores from TSM dying randomly



We've got a DB2 database that we're trying to do a redirected restore with (from a prod environment to a training environment), and it's been randomly dying with a TSM error of -50, which typically indicates network problems in my experience.

However, we're not seeing any network issues anywhere else on the same switch; the DB2 server is not experiencing any other network related problems that I've been able to discover, and the same with our TSM server.

"netstat -v en0" on the TSM server does show some network resource exhaustion (note "No Resource Errors"). I've only just started looking at it, so I don't know if it's growing, or has been at that level for months:

root@tsm:/opt/tivoli# netstat -v en0

Am I on the right track here, or is there somewhere else I should be looking? For what it's worth, both servers are at 6100-06-05-1115.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
