Hi,
I've downloaded the TSM Version 4.2.0.1 for AIX from Internet. Before I begin to try
the installation, does anyone knows wether I need something like a version key to
update my old TSM???

If your server is at TSM 3.7 or 4.1 now, going to TSM 4.2 is a pay-for
upgrade.
You need the CD to get the license files for 4.2.
Then you can install the 4.2.01 patch on top.

on NAS boxes like CLARiiON or NETAPP you won't find a backup/archive
client that runs directly on the machine.
To get your backup done just use another machine in your LAN that has
enough network bandwith available to both the NAS box and the TSM
server.
On WinNT you can use the UNC-Name

Ben,
For any drive you can look at

The rule is - whenever you have 3 or more drives you need Advanced Managed

3). For some libraries (like your choice IBM 3583)

How much memmory you need on a TSM database is diffrent form platforms,

Hi all,
Can we define an incremental and an archive scheduler by using one nodename?
How can we define a scheduler running on Monday, Tuesday only? I checked and
found that I can only define a whole weekday or one specified weekday or
weekend schedule.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This sounds like a good solution. I was under the belief that when I did
something like this that the archival process would start rebinding
previously archivals and therefore change the retention. But I guess that
is not true.
Thanks

I can't find any documetation for these commands. Do you know where I can find
it? I too have noticed the slowness on my AIX server and would like to do as you
suggest, but I would like to know what the commands are doing prior.

From what I can tell it is not a bug. Instead IBM/Tivoli no longer ship

With regards to functionality, both of schedmodes are equivalent. But there
are some arguments in different environments which prefers any of these
modes.
Schedmode pooling is better for example for clients, which are not up
allways at their backup the time. Server then didn't try to get them
