I shouldn't have to RTFM when I had a contract with IBM to come out and do the installation for me. I had my configuration laid out and they were expected to perform the given task. Here is another example of a problem that RTFM wouldn't have solved: When installing TSM 4.1.1.0 on NT4.0, the service would take 20+ minutes to start on a Quad CPU Netfinity w/ 2.5Gig RAM. Tivoli comes onsite and gets same exact error on several different hardware configuration on server different types of Netfinity's. Three guys onsite and Support/Developers on the phone. It took them 3 days to find a bug in the installer which set BufPoolSize to 273MB instead of 32MB. 3DAYS!!! Not documented, never seen before, so not in the manual!!

[major snippage concerning SANs, gateways, and fiber connections] This all goes to show that you shouldn't always blame the cutting-edge technology. It also proves that one should RTFM! The fact that the 3584 library defaults to one logical library for each physical tape drive is well documented in the 3584 docs. (In other words, it isn't a matter of how IBM configured it.) Take a little time to read the documentation, folks. It'll save you a lot of heartache later. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
