Pall, It seems like TSM client option sets and scheduling may be what you're after. You can access the TSM server through a web browser or through the TSM management console to set these up. The TSM management console is included with the TSM server and storage agent packages for Windows. The online help includes implementation info. Here's some general info on the TSM management console... The TSM management console is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) consisting of several snapins such as the Event Viewer, Device Manager, Removable Storage Management (RSM), Performance Monitor, and Tivoli Storage Manager. The console is customizable and you can add or remove any combination of snapins. You can also add the TSM snapin to other consoles or create new custom consoles consisting of the tools administrators need to use as part of their jobs. The TSM management console can present a view of your TSM cross-platform resources which is similar in appearance to the network neighborhood view in Windows Explorer. You can view several screen shots of the console at: http://www.tivoli.com/products/documents/updates/storage_mgr_42_enhancements.html (scroll down to the Windows section and click on any of the preview links) MMC runs on Windows and allows you to manage TSM resources on any TSM supported platform. The extent to which you can manage TSM resources depends on the platform. For all TSM server platforms you can use the embedded Web admin, console monitor, and command line interfaces. For all TSM client platforms that support the web client you use the embedded Web client. Support is included to scan a network for active TSM web clients and web administrators so that they can be added to the view. The Windows domain environment is further exploited so that in addition to the web and command line interface support provided for all TSM platforms you can also control the TSM Windows services across your domain such as (TSM Scheduler, TSM Client Acceptor, TSM Journal Engine, TSM Device driver, TSM Server, and TSM Storage Agent). Along with controlling services, you can edit options files and view log files. You can also see TSM version and device information. Support is included to detect the TSM resources in your Windows domain so that they can be added to the view. Configuration wizards are included to help you configure local TSM servers and storage agents. We are interested in your feedback. If anyone has any comments on the TSM management console please feel free to send them to me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll take them up with the appropriate teams.
