Hi, you can look up in the SUMMARY_EXTENDED table which VMs are backed up by the specific node with a specific schedule: tsm: ZEUSSERVselect SUB_ENTITY from summary_extended where ENTITY='MY_DATAMOVER_NODE' and SUB_ENTITY'' and SCHEDULE_NAME='SCHEDULENAME' SUB_ENTITY: MZ_VM_1 SUB_ENTITY: MZ_VM_SB Here are some more details: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/form/anonymous/api/wiki/93193ba0-be33-4733-9b03-9ab823a7475c/page/36548a5d-a9df-4e5a-ae3a-eada9f2f37ee/attachment/b8166859-548e-4504-b70f-989e865fa8f8/media/DPforVMware_Reporting640_V20130905.pdf Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Stefan Bender Hechtsheimer Strasse 2 / 55131 Mainz / Germany IBM Software Group, Tivoli Software Development Tivoli Storage Manager Tel. ++49-6131-846989 or ++49-7034-643-2773 / Fax. ++49-06131 -84-2520 / email: stefan.ben...@de.ibm.com -- IBM Deutschland Research Development GmbH / Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Martina Koederitz Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen / Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294 From: Matthew McGeary matthew.mcge...@potashcorp.com To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Date: 11/06/2014 14:41 Subject:Re: [ADSM-L] TSM for VE question Sent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU It's easy to find this out from the admin cli.

Hi Keith, FULLvm and FIle are only for VMware.

Re: TSM for VE question
That's what we did. We're still using the old v5 reporting module and I built a little report that does a filespace query and shows the age and backup date of each. That gives you a rough way to determine if a backup failed because its age will differ from the rest of the nodes in that schedule.

Re: TSM for VE question
Robert, To get a quick idea of what happened last night, we run these two commands from the admin client. Our backup schedules start at 18:00 The first one displays the failures, which is of most interest. The second one displays the successes. q act begind=-1 begint=18:00 msg=4174 q act begind=-1 begint=18:00 msg=4173 The Reports feature in the Plug-in also provides useful information. Best wishes, Keith Arbogast
