Domains Question
Folks... ADSM 3.1 was implemented in my shop about 5 years ago (on a mainframe server). At the time, we had 5 Netware Clients, and about 7 AIX Clients, so it made sense to create two domains - one for each platform.As in most shops, we've experienced an Open Systems growth explosion, to the point where I now have approx 30 Netware clients, and 60 UNIX clients, still defined to the original two domains. My server is TSM 4.1, running on S/390. My storage pools for the two domains - from disk to copy pool to offsite tape storage have all grown huge. My feeling is that maintaining the entire environment within two domains is inefficient - backups, migrations, etc take far too long, and I don't dream of turning on collocation. My questions are: 1) Do most people run their servers with fewer, large domains, or is it prevalent to operate with many smaller domains defined with less client nodes attached? 2) If a new domain is defined, how do you move a node, and all it's backed up files, from one domain to different new domain ? Thank you, Bill Robb
Full Disk Buffer Stopping a Backup.
Folks... I have an instance where I want to backup an entire Sybase database to its own disk buffer. However, for DRP purposes I need the entire database, so if the buffer reaches it high threshold, I want the backup to fail. I'll then increase the size of the disk buffer, and restart the backup. What I'm trying to prevent is having the backup spill to a sequential, or copy pool. Later in the day though, I will want to empty the buffer by migrating it to a sequential pool - I'll do this via command to reset the thresholds. I think I can do this by not specifying a 'next' pool when I define the disk buffer, and by specifying a destination on the management class (for the migration). Is my thinking correct? Thanks...

SQL for Amount Backed up Daily:
Folks... I'm running TSM 4.1 on an S390 server, and have 85 clients divided into two domains - Novell and AIX. Many of the clients run multiple backup sessions per day. I'm new to SQL, and have been trying to write the command that will show me the amount backed up, in MB per day, per client. My problem is that my command only shows me the amount from the last session, not the last 24 hours. Has anyone ever succeeded at writing such a command? Thanks. Bill Robb
