I searched and saw that Wanda had a similar issue/question but didn't see a resolution. I thought it might be related to the tape-mounting issue and upgraded one of my LM servers (HADES) from 5.5.4.1 to 5.5.4.2. My other LM server (FIREBALL) is still at 5.5.3.0. Wasn't sure if the problem with tape mounting was introduced in 5.5.4.0 or 5.5.4.1 so I haven't upgraded it, yet. Not sure if this is related or is the cause but the onsite/primary data for one of the nodes on this copypool tape, was recently move to to TS1120 tapes vs originally on TS1130 tapes, thus a different LM/deviceclass.

I didn't realize that it was going to require Websphere. Is this part of the Tivoli installation, or will I have to purchase that component separately? It's part of the admin center, which you want to use while you learn to work with the command line. I still prefer to open a UNIX shell and run dsmadmc to to real work, but fortunately, the current version of the admin center is not as bad as it used to be. Not a separate purchase. You should seriously consider installing the admin center on some other, ANY other, system image. A cheap RedHat VM is probably the best place; that way you don't have to use the expesive AIX CPU and memory to support a commoditized web service. that and separating a memory hog like the AC from important stuff is always a good plan.

We know what you're asking for, and you're not confused either, except to the extent that it's baffling that IBM would do things that way. For me, getting the answer to this question involves about a week's sporadic effort, including a round trip survey to all of my client admins. Everone involved knows the answer is wrong, but I do enough of a chicken dance around the process to establish good faith intentions to pay what I owe. Yell at your business partner. Express shocked dismay that IBM would do something so stupid. Demand justification from your regional high-up client rep. Stress the extra managability costs this procedure hides, and carefully note that these costs will have to be factored into new decisions about what backup technology will be used. And expect to be disappointed. I don't know wether TSM's Product Manager would like CCs, or if he might just feel henpecked about it. He's a good company man. I haven't heard him speak against the policy. But I haven't heard him laud its benefits, either. On the one hand, a list of client complaints might be useful for him.

Re: Does TSM Have a way to Automatically Determine How many CPU'S aka processors a server has
Another note some may find useful, If you have virtual machines you can pay license costs by either each VM or just for the virtual hosts. The hosts are cheaper in most cases, but then you have to make sure IBM has a list of every virtual machine so they don't charge them as physicals. In my case it meant verifying to their auditors. I guess with the bad economy IBM is getting creative on how to generate more revenue. ~Rick -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of David Longo Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 2:23 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Does TSM Have a way to Automatically Determine How many CPU'S aka processors a server has I bet a lot of people get extra counts for reasons you mentioned and related ones.
