Here's a summary of the questions and answers discovered: * Is there a way on Solaris boxes to adjust sliding windows? TCPWINDOW doesn't seem to work in dsm.sys on the Solaris-based clients.
Unknown. Possibly just simply not supported for Solaris, but is for AIX. * What's the appropriate way to exclude a directory and everything under it? Set up lines like this in the inclexcl file: exclude.dir /opt/foo (or exclude.fs if it's on its own fs) * Is it possible to rename the ADSM server's name? (Not machine hostname, but its ADSM name) Or am I just out of luck short of a total reinstall? adsm> set servername <new name> set this in dsm.sys on all clients * Where do I obtain latest ADSM and TSM server and client fixes? Is there a FTP or HTTP site? ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/adsm/fixes/v3r1/aixsrv/ 3.1.2.90 is the final maint release for 3.1.2. EOL was 31 Jan 2001. For TSM patches: ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/patches For TSM maint levels: ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance * Is there any way to temporarily disable paging (ie, <ENTER> to continue) within dsmadmc when wanting to gather data for easy copy-n-paste? At least one command's output looks very poor when done in batch mode with stdout redirected to a file. # dsmadmc -id=<id> -password=<pw> -{comma|tab} -out=<output file> <cmd> * Where can I find documentation pertaining to my version of ADSM server? /usr/share/html /usr/share/pdf ADSM install CD For ADSM docs: http://www.adsm.org click DOCS for links to 3.1 manuals in HTML and PDF For TSM support: http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html For TSM docs: http://www.tivoli.com/products/index/storage_mgr/ ADSM redbooks: Version 3 Technical Guide (SG242236) http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg242236.pdf ADSM to Back Up Databases (SG244335) http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg244335.pdf TSM client manuals for v4.2.1: UNIX - Using the Backup-Archive Client http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/TSMC/SH26-4122-02/en_US/PDF/SH26-4122-02.pdf Installing the Clients http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/TSMC/SH26-4119-02/en_US/PDF/SH26-4119-02.pdf Windows - Using the Backup-Archive Client http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/TSMC/SH26-4117-02/en_US/PDF/SH26-4117-02.pdf TSM server manuals for AIX, v4.2: Managed System for SAN Storage Agent's User Guide http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/SMAIXN/GC36-0001-01/en_US/PDF/GC36-0001-01.pdf Administrator's Reference http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/SMAIXN/GC35-0404-01/en_US/PDF/GC35-0404-01.pdf Administrator's Guide http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/SMAIXN/GC35-0403-01/en_US/PDF/GC35-0403-01.pdf Quick Start http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/SMAIXN/GC35-0402-01/en_US/PDF/GC35-0402-01.pdf A million thanks to the following individuals: Steve Harris Demetrius Malbrough Alex Paschal Wanda Prather Jeffery Bach Now I'm on the right path. :) I do believe we will be migrating to TSM v4 shortly... but for now, needed to deal with any more immediate ADSM v3 support issues here (especially since it's EOL'd!). Very interesting processing of the includes/excludes - duly noted and just means that I'll have to carefully study those some more for the more interesting (and pathological, heh) cases. -Dan Foster IP Systems Engineering (IPSE) Global Crossing Telecommunications Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
