Hi All !!!

What the goal here is, to allow only selecttive administrators on a TSM
server from being able to restore data from secure nodes.  This I believe
is currently not possible with TSM, since any administrator can chnage the
node password for any given node and restore the data from any node, in a
single policy domian.

This leads to my following questions for a multi policy domain:

When we create multiple policy domains, can both of them be active at the
same time?
Can we restrict users/ operators / administrators from one policy domain
administering the other domain? We still want the other administrators to
be able to check in and checl\k out volumes, and do other routine work for
the secure nodes as well, but not be able to change the password for the
nodes in that domain or do restores.
Also, is there a need for a super administrator for the TSM server who
has access to both the domains and grants privileges to the administrators
in the different policy domains?
Any good brief reading material to find out about this on the web?
Any dos and dont's or watchouts, going from a single policy to a multiple
policy domain?

Any suggestions would behelpful.

One more question off the topic, what is the link where we can go and
register the email addresses to subscribe to this ADSM list server?

TIA
