Keeping mgt classes in sync across multiple TSM servers

2010-01-14 Thread Richard Rhodes
We are now up to 6 primary TSM instances (as opposed to special purpose instances). We try and keep the policy sets setup the same so we can move nodes between them as needed. This wasn't bad when there was only a couple instances, but it's getting more of a issue with 6 instances. For example,

As a matter of fact there is. TSM provides Enterprise Configuration functionality, where you define one system as a configuration server and subscribed other systems to profiles on the configuration server. We've been using it with TSM 5 and 6 servers without any trouble, and it's available

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I seem to recall that you could not replicate domain/policy/mgmtclass from a configuration manager if there were nodes assigned to the domain on the target (client) system. Which made it pretty inconvenient. I've used server-server export policy to achieve the

That's true if there is a locally-managed domain of the same name on the node. If the domain is managed by the config server you can update without trouble. I've gotten around the problem like this though: 1. COPY DOMAIN foo localfoo 2. UPDATE NODE * WHEREDOM=foo DOM=localfoo 3. DELETE DOMAIN
