Re: Missing MMC reports
As Henrik indicated, you'll need those .xml files, and possibly any other customized ones that you might have had. Also, any customized reports will have ".ext" extensions...so you'll want to restore those as well. Mail Recipient lists are exported as ".rcp", if you had any of those saved. The scheduling stuff, I believe, is unfortunately saved in the registry, so you will likely have to recreate that by hand. Generally what I do is to install a fresh copy of the same version in the same location, and then restore all contents of the "console" directory, and restart the reporting service. That's worked pretty well for me in the past.

MMC memory leak?
Hi all, I left the MMC console running overnight on a W2K box, monitoring three TSM servers. At some point in the evening it had eaten up to 1 GB of memory, and despite the box having 4 GB, the overnights ops wanted to kill it. So, my question is, has this happened to you? Is there a memory leak in the TSM MMC?

Rick, Have you considered doing image backups for your monthly backups? There are some limitations to this that you will need to look into, but having a regularly scheduled image backup (which can use a different management class, i.e. different retention values) has several benefits. Rather than go into all the ins and outs of image backups in this note I suggest you take a look the admin guides and see if this might work for you. However, I will mention one plus to doing regular image backups, when you have to do a full filespace restore it is much faster doing a "image plus incrementals" restore rather than the conventional restore! As an example, I am currently working with a customer that is setting up an environment where they do regular incrementals 6 days a week using a a MC that keeps 7 versions (most of the critical files change daily). On the 7th day we take an image backup and that is set to keep 14 versions. Therefore, we have a PIT restore to any day in the last week with a daily resolution and PIT restore for anytime during the last 3 months with a weekly resolution. For longer term we are also doing quarterly archives that are kept for 3 years as well as a year end archive that is kept forever. This may not fit your needs exactly, but you can see how flexible TSM is. -- Regards, Mark D.

Wolfram >>System Administrator Pall, It seems like TSM client option sets and scheduling may be what you're after. You can access the TSM server through a web browser or through the TSM management console to set these up. The TSM management console is included with the TSM server and storage agent packages for Windows. The online help includes implementation info. Here's some general info on the TSM management console... The TSM management console is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) consisting of several snapins such as the Event Viewer, Device Manager, Removable Storage Management (RSM), Performance Monitor, and Tivoli Storage Manager. The console is customizable and you can add or remove any combination of snapins. You can also add the TSM snapin to other consoles or create new custom consoles consisting of the tools administrators need to use as part of their jobs. The TSM management console can present a view of your TSM cross-platform resources which is similar in appearance to the network neighborhood view in Windows Explorer. You can view several screen shots of the console at: http://www.tivoli.com/products/documents/updates/storage_mgr_42_enhancements .html (scroll down to the Windows section and click on any of the preview links) MMC runs on Windows and allows you to manage TSM resources on any TSM supported platform. The extent to which you can manage TSM resources depends on the platform. For all TSM server platforms you can use the embedded Web admin, console monitor, and command line interfaces. For all TSM client platforms that support the web client you use the embedded Web client. Support is included to scan a network for active TSM web clients and web administrators so that they can be added to the view. The Windows domain environment is further exploited so that in addition to the web and command line interface support provided for all TSM platforms you can also control the TSM Windows services across your domain such as (TSM Scheduler, TSM Client Acceptor, TSM Journal Engine, TSM Device driver, TSM Server, and TSM Storage Agent). Along with controlling services, you can edit options files and view log files. You can also see TSM version and device information. Support is included to detect the TSM resources in your Windows domain so that they can be added to the view. Configuration wizards are included to help you configure local TSM servers and storage agents. We are interested in your feedback. If anyone has any comments on the TSM management console please feel free to send them to me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll take them up with the appropriate teams.

Wolfram >>System Administrator Pall, It seems like TSM client option sets and scheduling may be what you're after. You can access the TSM server through a web browser or through the TSM management console to set these up. The TSM management console is included with the TSM server and storage agent packages for Windows. The online help includes implementation info. Here's some general info on the TSM management console... The TSM management console is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) consisting of several snapins such as the Event Viewer, Device Manager, Removable Storage Management (RSM), Performance Monitor, and Tivoli Storage Manager. The console is customizable and you can add or remove any combination of snapins. You can also add the TSM snapin to other consoles or create new custom consoles consisting of the tools administrators need to use as part of their jobs. The TSM management console can present a view of your TSM cross-platform resources which is similar in appearance to the network neighborhood view in Windows Explorer. You can view several screen shots of the console at: http://www.tivoli.com/products/documents/updates/storage_mgr_42_enhancements.html (scroll down to the Windows section and click on any of the preview links) MMC runs on Windows and allows you to manage TSM resources on any TSM supported platform. The extent to which you can manage TSM resources depends on the platform. For all TSM server platforms you can use the embedded Web admin, console monitor, and command line interfaces. For all TSM client platforms that support the web client you use the embedded Web client. Support is included to scan a network for active TSM web clients and web administrators so that they can be added to the view. The Windows domain environment is further exploited so that in addition to the web and command line interface support provided for all TSM platforms you can also control the TSM Windows services across your domain such as (TSM Scheduler, TSM Client Acceptor, TSM Journal Engine, TSM Device driver, TSM Server, and TSM Storage Agent). Along with controlling services, you can edit options files and view log files. You can also see TSM version and device information. Support is included to detect the TSM resources in your Windows domain so that they can be added to the view. Configuration wizards are included to help you configure local TSM servers and storage agents. We are interested in your feedback. If anyone has any comments on the TSM management console please feel free to send them to me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll take them up with the appropriate teams.
