    I do not believe the issue is with socket special files only. 
    The issue is with bpdbm timing out.

    I would personally try everything that is suggested in the 2 TNs. 
    Or disable TIR if there is not a very good reason for using it.
    What do you have to lose?

    My only other suggestion would be to log a Suuport call with Veritas.
    They will need all logs at level 5.

Hi Marianne,

 

Thanks a lot for your response. I have gone through below TN provide by you.

http://www.veritas.com/docs/000032194 

But here I have one more query. 

In the TN its provided that as there are 28,662 socket special files  it  takes bpbkar about 2 minutes to pass the list of files to bpbrm over the single established socket but in the bpbkar logs what I have attached , I can see there are only 3 socket special files. Eventhough there are only 3 files why it will take long time to pass the files to bpbrm. Could you please let me know whether it will depend on any other parameters as well?
