Re: Client Autodeployment
David, see the below APAR details of the behaviour change and exact versions it affects. IC75871: AUTODEPLOY=NOREBOOT SET IN THE DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE IS NOT HONORED IF IT IS NOT SET IN THE CLIENT NODE http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC75871 Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

I'm running TSM 6.2.2.0 server on AIX 5.3. I tried my first autodeployment test yesterday. The autodeployment schedule did NOT have the allow client restart box checked. But the client was auto-restarted at the end of the install. Anyone experienced this behavior? David
Re: Client Autodeployment
I did try client autodeployment in the lab and, frankly, found it rather disappointing - tricky to troubleshoot and no way of automating it from the command line that we could work out. Didn't experience any random reboots because we couldn't get the damn thing to work! /David Mc Sent from my iPad On 1 Apr 2011, at 16:30, David E Ehresman deehr...@louisville.edu wrote: Anyone tried Client Autodeployment?

Re: Client Autodeployment
Hi David, what phases of the deployment steps were you trying to automate via the command line and did not work for you -- Scheduling the deployment ? Observing the results? So we can help you with that.

Re: Client Autodeployment
I have tried the autodeploy feature and like it. Yes it has been problems, mostly because IBM failed to keep the ftp-server compatible with the autodeploy feature (wrong case in a file name and later a corrupt xml-file), but now it works. I recommend everyone to try it. It is easy to setup and use from admin center. You can use it from the cmd-line, but I would start with the admin center. The wizard will help you to get every detail right the first time. Later you can steal the commands that admin center is using and do it from cmd-line. Actually it is more or less standard TSM that upgrades TSM. Import node, Scripts, dmsc retrieve, schedules and reports to actlog. There is nothing really magic. Just pure TSM. IBM: When you release a new client or XML-file to the ftp-server, please test it first! (Or send me an email and I will test it for you). Anders Räntilä
