Re: Installing TSM on Sun Solaris (Sparc)
Marc, IBM support is correct, in this case, that any Java enabled web browser will suffice. I'm currently running four (4) TSM servers v5.2.3.3 on Solaris 8 servers. You do not need to execute/run the web browser on your TSM server itself, and I do not. However, I have used Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox browsers to manage the TSM servers from Windows XP laptops and desktops, and Mozilla and Firefox browsers installed on a Sunblade running Solaris 10. Just be sure to install and configure the Java run-time pluggin to enable the browser command line capability. You connect to the TSM server web admin interface, using its default admin port of 1580. Example: http://tsm-server-fqdn_or_IP-address:1580 BTW, I use both the browser and command-line interfaces, as each has their own strengths, and weaknesses.

(See Solaris Client Environment in Chapter 1, Installing Tivoli Storage Manager. Page 10 of TSM 5 3 UNIX baclient install.pdf lists Software Requirements: A Mozilla 1.4 or higher browser.) When I got the Mozilla installation and unzipped and untarred it, the README gave instructions for installing on everything BUT Solaris -- Mac, Windows, and Linux, but no Solaris. I opened a bug in Bugzilla, but no one had touched it after a week. I rummaged through the web pages on Sun and they were no help, either. I called IBM, and they did call back, and they suggested using Netscape instead of Mozilla (they said it only needed to be a Java-enabled browser, not necessarily Mozilla); they also admitted that the browser is only necessary for users who aren't comfortable with a command-line interface. So I'm considering dispensing with this browser rigamarole altogether. Still, though, they're sometimes easier than rummaging through the documentation to find the right command, so if it's not too hairy, I'd like to go ahead with Mozilla (Netscape is a distant second choice; third choice is go without a browser). I'm running Solaris 9 on the Sparc architecture. uname -a: SunOS [my.box.com] 5.9 Generic_117171-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250 My question is: where can I find instructions for installing Mozilla? IMPORTANT CAVEAT: This is my ONLY Sun machine, and it's my production server for workforce management (and, yes, I've pleaded for a spare, so don't suggest that I'M taking a risk; the fault is not mine). So WHATEVER I DO MUST BE LOW RISK. -- Marc Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: system object backup fails
Hi all, My problem recurs. I have tried various ways to backup this machine but it fails every now and then. I have 1) update schedule domain kulsec01_sysobj objects='C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmc backup systemobject' (. as suggested by Andrew) 2) Delete of the staging file... adsm.sys 3) Restart the machine. 4) Restart the service. The backup is successful upon each machine reboot but fails after a few days. This is not a good indication if I doesn't backup continously and needs reboot. Tested : C:\Progra~1\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmc backup systemobject (which doesn't work) Info: TSM server on AIX 5.2 Client Machine = XP SP1 TSM server version 5.2.3 TSM client version = 5.2.3 Attached is the failed backup info on 16th Sept 05.

Re: system object backup fails
Is the volume shadow copy service running? I have had similar problems when volume shadow copy is not running, og an app har done somthing funky with the service. My solution was to start the service if it was not running.
