2015-01-22 Thread Barkes, Jason
Hi, I am installing new systems and traditionally would have converted my rmt devices to mt TSM devices. Is this now a legacy activity to perform? We are using LTO Ultrium 6 drives and whilst interrogating the rmt device I can see a lot more tuneable attributes than when converted to

Hello Wanda, Please note that Jeanne seems to use the TSM Scheduler in the traditional autonomous mode, not in CAD managed mode. The script provided with the client package begining with TSM 6.3 only allows to start the dsmcad, and not dsmc sched. A news script must be written, or the

On Linux I always just set it up with dsmcad; all my customers run dsmcad anyway because so few of them have XWindows environments, and so they use the dsmcad webclient for GUI access. On Windows I still tend to use the old scheduler-only mode, as most of my customers had rather just RDP into
