I believe ServerGraph and TSMManager both say they have the
functionality. We have a pretty sizable TSM environment here...3 TSM
servers 10TB b/u a night, 3584 1700 slots 60 drives and we do not have
scripts to do any of the daily housekeeping. We use tsm scripts and
scheduler and it runs fine. What do you have that is so complex that it
has to be scripted outside of TSM's functionality.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM server automation products

My site has a rather large Perl script that controls the daily
housekeeping cycle (storage pool backups, database backups, tape
movement, and so on). The script also detects a variety of
error conditions and reports them to our operations staff. My
management is convinced that we can buy an off the shelf product
that will replace 80 percent of the Perl code. Does such a
product exist?

In particular, does ServerGraph provide this kind of functionality?
Their Web site mentions automation, but does not seem to have any
information on the automation features beyond the assertion that
they exist.
