Re: Can anyone help? (someone certainly needs help...)
ENOUGH! It is one thing to post a commercial message on this list, eventually turning it into a combined ADSM/misc.jobs.tivoli list; another to be able to do so unflamed. But it is unbelievable to me that *anyone* would reply to such a post *TO THE LIST* when the ing email address of the job listing poster is right there for the taking? Is this the way anyone on this list would want to advertise themselves? Or is it the group consensus that any and everyone may have such a useful resume that it would be in the best interest of all the list if we all posted our resumes here on a regular basis. Maybe I'm missing something here. Currently there are about 1600 subscribers. Even if it only takes two seconds to recognize and delete such posts, that is about one person-hour wasted. Multiply this be about three dozen posts per day minimum of what passes on this list. A little consideration, PLEASE! And I thought Usenet had deteriorated over the years. Thanks to the people who really post useful things here that aren't *EASILY* (and that *is* the key word!) found elsewhere, but let me be the first to suggest that a separate list etiquette post probably should be posted here *daily*, with a subject line something like: LOOK! READ ME BEFORE POSTING!. Can I get a second on that? I used to build filters to filter out certain noise. In all seriousness, I am considering building a filter to only filter in certain posts for this list, with Richard Sims and *.us.ibm.com as the only immediate candidates. Can anyone else suggest a few more names I might want to leave in? -- Dan Goodman Systems Engineer Specialist Thomas Jefferson University Hospital 215-503-6808 Daniel.Goodman AT mail.tju.edu When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps the loudest is usually the one that got hit.

Re: 5.2 bug?
Remeta, Mark wrote: Search within: United States Worldwide Advanced searchTips No results found Maybe your going to a different www.ibm.com... Or maybe it's case-sensitive? Worked for me. This is the noisiest list I have ever been on. Has anyone given any thought to splitting this into client/server questions and by IBM-OS/Win/Other, perhaps by instituting a filterable naming convention? And another category for generics Q/A/rants? For all but the full-time TSM administrator (and for many of them) this might be the only way to overcome the unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio. If that doesn't fly, I'm either going to the digest or dropping out altogether. While there are some very knowledgeable and helpful people here, it is a scary thought to me that there are so many people responsible for enterprise backup and restore who cannot or will not spend five minutes to RTFM or design a brief test. Or who think that the four minutes they save by posting instead is more valuable than the five-ten seconds it takes to scan their query, recognize it and delete it - multiplied by hundreds of list participants. /soapbox off Dan Goodman Systems Engineer Specialist Thomas Jefferson University Hospital 215-503-6808 Daniel.Goodman AT mail.tju.edu

I'm afraid we're in another era of corporate IBM deeming customer relations not worth bothering with. Thankfully for us, we have rebels like Andy and Del carrying on the right tradition of helpfulness. I *wondered* whatever happened to the old IBM Icon Police, the ones who told OS/2 developers seeking team arrangements with IBM that you couldn't use a hand as an icon, as someone somewhere in the world might be offended by a disembodied caricature of a human hand! -- Dan Goodman Systems Engineer Specialist Thomas Jefferson University Hospital 215-503-6808 Daniel.Goodman AT mail.tju.edu
Re: New to TSM
Mark Cini wrote: ... We haven't purchased any hardware yet for TSM, as management wants to be sure we pick the right combination. I am leaning towards TSM server running on Win2000 because of our current in-house expertise. We are excited about the capabilities of TSM combined with an estimated $100k savings over the next year in hardware replacement costs alone. Have you considered that perhaps the reason you have more inhouse Win2k expertise is because Win2k requires more support expertise? Don't forget to factor in the Win2k support costs, and be sure to get actuals from other users, not just published whitepapers. A word to the wise... AIX is a scalable, reliable workhorse, and is the native platform for TSM. These are not things that should not be overlooked, IMHO.

Re: anyone using ATA disk systems
Rainer Tammer wrote: I see a very big problem in this disk storage pools. If you have an surge on your electricity network you can potentially loos all your data including the backup !! That is why the industry has developed UPS, RAID and auto-retracting disk heads among other things. And there is nothing that says you can't take an offline backup to tape for offsite storage in addition to the much faster diskpool for backup and restore. We are currently using a Hitachi SAN to do a snapshot image, which we then detach and backup up (albeit to a tape pool). There is no technical or marketing reason that I can see that IBM could not, or should not, develop a combined diskpool/tapepool solution, using disk for primary backup and restoration, and the backend tapepool for offsite storage. (Other than possible backlash from the sales and marketing force for IBM tape library solutions? Lou Gerstner established the principle that IBM should speak with one voice; unfortunately it is not always clear whose voice it is that is, or should be, speaking.) A highend alternative would be to use a distributed diskpool solution for offsite copies. Dan Goodman Systems Engineer Specialist Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
