>From my experience working in the banking environment, the backup and recovery group should have root or root capable privileges. This can be accomplished with something like sudo.

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
