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 free-of-charge after the regular TSM server licensing, at least for extended edition. You can find it documented in Chapter 21 of the Administrator's Guide:

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, I just created a 3mo archive class on one instance . . . and did it 5 more times on other instances. (Yes . . the CLI and scripts are your friends!) q) If you keep the domains/policysets/mgtclasses in sync across multiple TSM instances, How do you do it? There isn't some feature to sync these across multiple instances?
