Uhm, may I ask *why* you'd want an off-the-shelf product instead of your own code? Is the Perl-code not functioning correctly?

Re: TSM server automation products
We run the DRM product for TSM. That controls the offsite tape rotation and generates daily DR plans. With the Operational reporting that comes with TSM 5.2, it is a start. The overall reporting structure within TSM is bad to say the least. The operational reporting tool will email you various different reports based on node activity, session details, missed and open files, schedules etc. If you want some samples, will email them to you. . Servergraph does do a lot in the TSM environment. We had them recently at our TSM user's group meeting.

Re: TSM server automation products
I believe ServerGraph and TSMManager both say they have the functionality. We have a pretty sizable TSM environment here...3 TSM servers 10TB b/u a night, 3584 1700 slots 60 drives and we do not have scripts to do any of the daily housekeeping. We use tsm scripts and scheduler and it runs fine. What do you have that is so complex that it has to be scripted outside of TSM's functionality. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Denier Sent: Friday, March 31, 2006 12:23 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM server automation products My site has a rather large Perl script that controls the daily housekeeping cycle (storage pool backups, database backups, tape movement, and so on).

Re: Retention of the Volume History

Thanks! "How long do I keep volhist" is related to "How long do I set reusedelay", both of which are subsidiary to "How far back in time am I willing to revert my TSM server in the event of a problem?". If you have a 25-day-old database backup, but your REUSEDELAY is not set to at least 26 days, then when you -use- the 25-day-old database, some unknown amount of it will be invalid. Ick. Audit everything? I suggest deciding on the "How far back am I willing to contemplate recovering my TSM server" value first, and then setting both REUSEDELAY and the length of volhist retention with that in mind. So, if you want 4 days, then set them both at something a little more than 5. If you want 30 days, set them both at something a little more than 31. - Allen S. Rout
Impact of APAR IC47731
IC47731 has to do with poor TSM server performance under mainframe Linux, resulting from frequent use of the backtrace() function. The APAR mentions poor performance on SLES 9 and RHEL 4, both of which are based on the 2.6 Linux kernel. Does the same problem occur with SLES 8, which is based on the 2.4 kernel? The APAR states that fixing the problem 'gives TSM a big performance boost'. Does anyone who has installled the fix have quantitative information on how big 'big' is?
OFM Agent for MS ACCESS DATABASES
Hello All, One of our Novell Clients is thinking about using the St. Bernard Software agent for MS-Access Data bases the spec sheet information says it will work with "Tivoli TSM for Netware 5.x "WEB ENABLED". I have never heard of the WEB-ENABLED part do they mean the WEB-Client Gui? Also, Would a client need a license for the Tivoli server in addition to the client Netware boxes? Thanks in advance?

Once a DB or Recovery Log volume has been formatted, it remains formatted. Any subsequent restoral can then use the volume as-is. Raw Logical Volumes have no formatting requirement, so are a generally attractive choice, particularly for DR situations, where time matters. Richard Sims

Re: Retention of the Volume History
Hi, Normally volhist contains two type of "volumes list " one is volumes used for dbbackup and 2nd used for volumes having B/a client backup. ==> delete volhist command should only be used with type=dbbackup, provided you are taking regular backup of TSM DATABASE. ==>Volumes containg B/A client backup will get free automatically and will be deleted and added with respect to retention period. So running delete volhist tod=today-31 type=all will result in lost of history of B/client data volumes which can be painfull.. And now the question u asked : U can use delete volhist tod=today-8 type=dbbackup so keep previous 7 versions of db.
