You could send the stderr and stdout to an outfile, to get clues as to why its not starting.
 
dsmcad:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad >> /tmp/dsmcd.out 2>&1
 
Then run 'init -q', to re-read the inittab file.

Subject: Problems with inittab
 
I was wondering...after upgrading to AIX 5.1 has anyone had any issues with inittab entries executing? We recently upgraded the server to AIX 5.1 ML05 and ever since then inittab does not appear to be able to start our dsmc sched process, load kernel extensions for oracle, etc. The system boots up fine and all the entries in inittab meet syntax requirements. Any ideas?
 
-rw------- 1 root system 3494 Jan 26 22:38 /etc/inittab
 
Sample entries:
 
adsm:2:respawn:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # ADSM Scheduler
dsmcad:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad # ADSM Web Client
orapw:2:wait:/etc/loadext -l /etc/pw-syscall
orakstat:2:wait:/etc/loadext -l /etc/ora_kstat
 
TIA,
