Hi, Curtis.
Did you ever get a chance to look at Servergraph/TSM?
I'd be very interested in your take on what SAMS has that Servergraph lacks.
The slideshow only takes 10-15 minutes, if you just want the 5,000-foot
view.
Hope to hear from you. Thanks.

Interesting... What version of SAMS are you running? We also run it and
would agree that at times the syntax is "clunky" to get the data that you
want. We haven't experienced the blue screen or lock up problems.
We use it for almost all of daily metrics and reporting to customers and
management. Also use it to collect disk utilization and capacity information
on all of the file servers. We monitor servers all across the country and
from one pane of glass can display not only the status of our TSM
environments but also the status of the storage that TSM is backing up.
We are currently at 5.5.1 and in the process of upgrading to 6.x. Between
our records and theirs we seem to be out of sync on what our customer number
is. As soon as we get that corrected we should get the new version. Did look
at the Tivoli module but doesn't look like it will get the disk numbers we
are after. We have another group working with the Tivoli Endpoint clients
and the data that it can gather. So far it looks like a combination of the
Endpoint stuff and the SAMS stuff gives us the data that we are looking for.

Hi Joe,
We run it but its not very good.
it not as good as TDS (Tivoli Decision Support) for TSM, which can be
configured to retrieve different information from the TSM Server.
we have outstanding issues with sams where it will just lock up, blue screen
or
stop collecting information from TSM, when it finds something in the act log
it can't handle.
we are about to turn it off.
