Re: TSM on Linux Box
On Linux I always just set it up with dsmcad; all my customers run dsmcad anyway because so few of them have XWindows environments, and so they use the dsmcad webclient for GUI access. On Windows I still tend to use the old scheduler-only mode, as most of my customers had rather just RDP into the server because it's faster and you don’t get hung up with java issues on Windows with the browser. So I guess that's a way of saying I do whichever the customer prefers!

Speed of NDMP with TOC data over WAN
Hello We have a backup scenario where we have a NetApp filer with a Tape library attached in the US and our TSM server in Australia (250ms round trip time). We are seeing some very slow NDMP backup times. Anyone have a similar setup? Does the link between the TSM server and the Filer effect backup speed, even though it's only TOC/control data? Are there any configurations that can help? Feel free to contact me directly. Grant
