Re: Installing TSM on Sun Solaris (Sparc)
Marc, IBM support is correct, in this case, that any Java enabled web browser will suffice. I'm currently running four (4) TSM servers v5.2.3.3 on Solaris 8 servers. You do not need to execute/run the web browser on your TSM server itself, and I do not. However, I have used Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox browsers to manage the TSM servers from Windows XP laptops and desktops, and Mozilla and Firefox browsers installed on a Sunblade running Solaris 10. Just be sure to install and configure the Java run-time pluggin to enable the browser command line capability. You connect to the TSM server web admin interface, using its default admin port of 1580. Example: http://tsm-server-fqdn_or_IP-address:1580 BTW, I use both the browser and command-line interfaces, as each has their own strengths, and weaknesses. Links: http://getfirefox.com http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Hope this helps you.

Re: TSM on SUN
Hi, My recomendation is: 1.- A IBM lto library. 2.- AIX instead of SUN. Because always you can complain about the TSM or HW to IBM. I know a problem in SUN and I am not sure if the pb has been solved. Sometimes the db backup under Solaris starts one hour more or less after the tape is mounted in the drive, it is the only pb I have found only under Solaris. The performance is more or less equal, and both work with LAN FREE, Fran --- Pitur Ey~srsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribis: Hi guys A big company here in Iceland is thinking about installing TSM on SUN, they will be the first one to have TSM on SUN here.

Re: TSM on SUN
Ben, It's highly recommended that (on Solaris) you use raw volumes for the TSM file systems (ie, db log)... due to severe performance penalties. Other than that, all should be okay. There are other rules of thumb to consider, especially on Sun boxes, regarding how much CPU power to support multiple NIC's of varying speeds and bandwidth, as well as number of SCSI drives/ports, etc. (search the archive for recent info about sizing the server).

Veritas NetBackup BusinesServer 3.3 software installed on the same machine uses library robot and drives without failures. This sounds remarkably similar to the problem I had with my StorageTek L20 - I assume it's the same thing, since the description matches. I was trying to use it with TSM 3.7.3, and it didn't work until I upgraded the code to 3.7.4. (I posted to the list about it at the time, so you should be able to find details in the list archive if you want them.) But the other thing I did was re-install the OS in 32-bit mode. It could be worth a try - and if you contact Tivoli about it, they will very likely suggest doing it. If that doesn't work, my suggestion is to log a call with Tivoli. They made some kind of change between 3.7.3 and 3.7.4 that made it work for me - so it's possible you might need the same change at the 4.1 level.
