Ok, Disclaimer #1 - I have never tried this. Disclaimer #2 - I'm not painfully familair with solaris ( that's my guess at the os you're using )
BUT.. in theory ( cracks knuckles ), if your user account(s) had rw access to the Drives/Library ( i.e. /dev/XXXX ), the TSM process ( i.e. daemon ) _should_ be allowed to run in user space, given that any port >1024 is unprivileged. I don't know what sort of dependancies the drivers might hold on needing root privileges, but even if the SysAdmin made a disk group and changed the devices to be owned and rw by that group, I don't see why it couldn't be done. well, there's my 2cents. change is expected. -ed Ed Anderson Unix Systems Administrator University of Mississippi Medical Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002/02/08 03:16:11 PM >>> Our company uses Powerbroker access instead of sudo and they don't want to give us pbrun su-root privileges.

We just converted to TSM 4.2.1.9 from NetBackup. We are finding that our group needs to be able to stop the TSM daemons and start the start up script, instead of always having the system admin. do this. Right now I am told that there is no work around for root privileges being needed to kill the TSM daemons. I'm wondering how other shops get around this problem? When our TSM server crashes, all of the clients that are getting backed up are getting hung schedulers and need to be bounced to resume working. The fact that root privileges are needed to bounce the daemons is adding on days to our resolution, since we have to open a problem ticket with the system admin. group and wait for them to bounce the daemons. We have ids on most of the unix servers and could do it, if the permissions allowed. Any ideas?? Do any of you have a work around for this problem? Tivoli had me open an enhancement request. ....Cheryl Cheryl Miller Wells Fargo Bank Distributed Storage Management (DSM) 916-774-2073
