Folks,
I have TSM server 4.1.4 on a Sun E450 with 4 processors, 2Gb of ram, 21
disks as the primary stgpool across 3 SCSI busses. We have around 100
nodes backing up to this puppy, backing up around 90Gb nightly (
achiving 11Gb a night ). I'm seeing pretty consistent throughput from
the nodes
You should be able to get this through cron for windows without having
to be logged into the machine.

Scott,
well, I can't say that this is the best way to do it, but this is what
I've been doing. I have ( and I'm guessing most folks probably do ) an
email that goes out to the SysAdmins of the machines that we back up
with the status of their backup ( completed,failed,missed,?,etc ) and

Well,
not really that I know of, but a help select may give you a good many
pointers if you are already familiar with SQL. ( I think select is the
only SQL command that you can actually use as native SQL, i.e. I think
that when you do an update, it goes through whatever interpreter there

you may want to emplore the archive method once a month.
I think this is the part where the Unlike _every_ other backup system
you've ever used, TSM doesn't have/need the

You may care to reevaluate your need for full monthlies.

Ok,
Disclaimer #1 - I have never tried this.
Disclaimer #2 - I'm not painfully familair with solaris ( that's my guess at the os
you're using )
BUT.. in theory ( cracks knuckles ), if your user account(s) had rw access to the
Drives/Library ( i.e. /dev/ ), the TSM process ( i.e. daemon )
I don't think so, I think it works like Kerberos, where you connect to the server,
agree on some hash, then apply that hash to your password, sending only the hashed
text as your password.
Of course, if it's BASE64 encoded or similar, it may as well be clear text...

The 3494 tape library is the best thing since sliced bread. However, learning how to
use the aforementioned bread can be kind of .. difficult. However, being an IBM
product, there is more than adequate documentation for you to learn from.

I'm going to try and make what's going on as clear as possible, if I don't, please ask
for elaboration.
I hope one or more of y'all can lend me some insight as to exactly what is going on

compression and encryption is off. ;)

I know this isn't exactly what you're asking about, but it will do the job, and seeing
the note about pcAnywhere just made me want to add my two bits.
You can use VNC ( at no charge ) for remoting into the computer ( though your
tranmissions won't be encryted or anything ).

ADSM _should_ be able to backup a read only filesystem as adsm ( tsm, whatever )
shouldn't be writing to the filesystem to back it up ( that's what the adsm server is
for ), unless you're executing dsmc from withing that filesystem, at which point you
would be attempting to write dsmerror.log.
Have you checked out www.mysql.com/documentation ? It's not TSM specific, but there
are some good examples and SQL theory there.

Folks,
I have much bad problem.. We're running tsm server 4.1.4 on solaris 2.6. The dsmserv
process is still running, but I can't make any client ( administrative or backup )
connections to it. I'm about to call support, but I was wondering if anyone on the
list was perhaps awake already
Here's a tidbit that may or may not apply to you. ( if you upgraded from media
distributed by Tivoli ( i.e. CDROM ) go ahead and ignore this )
We tried upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 here from the upgrade available on the tivoli
website ( specific URL thankfully forgotten ).
This is bad.
