Comment about the TSM gui from a IBM conference
Interesting question/comment on the IBM Storage blog by Tony Pearsonat https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/InsideSystemStorage/?lang=en In talking about events on Day 4 of the IBM Storage University, he describes a Question/Answer event with this Q+A . . . Q) The TSM GUI sucks! Are there any plans to improve it? A) Yes, we are aware that products like IBM XIV have raised the bar for what people expect for graphical user interfaces. We have plans to improve the TSM GUI. IBM's new GUI for the SAN Volume Controller and Storwize V7000 has been well-received, and wll be used as a template for the GUIs of other storage hardware and software products. The GUI uses the latest HTML5 Dojo widgets and AJAX technologies, eliminating Java dependencies on the client browser.

Re: Comment about the TSM gui from a IBM conference
I've been ranting about that here for a while now. Yes, it sucks! And removing the dsmmfc native GUI client in 6.2 just added insult to injury. I did a benchmark of the Windows v6.1 java client versus the v6.1 native dsmmfc client on the same computer, and the java client took 10 times longer to initialize. TEN TIMES. It's so slow that when you ask it to do something, you find yourself frequently clicking again because nothing happened, but that sometimes causes malfunctions. I should submit a performance APAR against it. It's so bad that we are still distributing the v5.5 client to all our Windows users, despite the other improvements in 6.2 such as incremental system state backup. Until this improved and hopefully fast new client is developed with all that new technology, please update and return the dsmmfc client to distributions in v6.3, and make it the default. It was fast; THAT was the product that raised the bar for performance expectations for TSM client programs - TSM v5.5 dsmmfc, not XIV.

I usually keep an AC window open for configuration tasks, and an admin command line open for queries. FWIW, I have seen performance problems with the AC being slow, that were actually due to the specific desktop/browser combination in use to access it. (I can only assume it's the java handling on the particular desktop.) I've got customers getting great performance using the ISC/AC, when the ISC/AC itself is installed on a modest Windows config. Anybody running the 5.5 or 6.1 AC, getting lousy performance, try it again accessing via a different browser/different desktop, see if you get different results.

Re: TSM gui
The TSM Administration center is our supplied interface. The 6.1 version has significant improvements over earlier versions, and will support 5.5 and 5.4 servers. It is available for download with no charge, see http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=10177 for the location of the download and instructions.

Re: Restoring from one server to another using TSM GUI
Ok, so the gui way is more like this... 1. Go to http://server1:1581 , click the utilities menu, and select Node Access List 2. Log in with an admin user when it prompts you. 3. In the Node Access List box, click the Add button. 4. In the Grant access to node field of the next box, type server2. 5. Click the checkbox for Include subdirectories. 6. Click OK on this box, and on the previous one. 7. Go to http://server2:1581 , click on the utilities menu, and select Access Another Node. 8. Type in server1, and click Set. 9. Go to the Restore screen as normal. You should now be able to select server2 volumes as a destination for the server1 restore.

Re: Restoring from one server to another using TSM GUI
The access you granted in steps 1-6 doesn't go away unless you take it away. So it depends on whether they want it left on or not.

Re: TSM Gui
Does the userid running the GUI have the same authorization level as the CLI that did the archive? [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/12/2004 11:17:56 AM I'm running TSM 5.1.6 client on W2K.

We run TSM 5.1.5 on the client. The Novell client is 5.1. We run incremental daily and all seems to be working fine. We keep the archives for 365 days. Over the past 3 monthly archives (aug,sept,oct), we can no longer see the archives on the Web. I can see the remainder of the previous months on the web except the 3 in question. I just noticed this due to needing a retrieve of Oct. The client logs for the 3 months looked good. Gave me the totals and all was good. Today, thought I would look at the command line and did the retrieve with the -pick option. The 3 months are out there and TSM knows about them, and am retrieving the data as we speak.

Can having the TSM gui conflict with the scheduler?
Windows2000 SP4 TSM Client 5.1.6.5 configured for managedservices schedule webclient Last night the backup schedule for this server was In Progress and just plain never completed. Looking at the services, the Scheduler was started manual, but there were no sessions with the server. The server activity log showed where the backups were starting and then connectio with client has been severed, then restarts The only thing I could see different was that someone had run the gui for a full incremental and it was still sitting there with the backup Completed OK dialog box. Can having this running conflict with the incremental backups done throug the scheduler service? Bill Boyer Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield. - ??
