Hello All,

Thanks for your help!!

We are running TSM 5.3.4 with a IBM 3584 library. Our library has not
exactly been the Pinnacle of MTBF. All the drives have been replaced,
some more than once and the medium changer has been replaced twice. All
of this since April 2007.

The medium changer died this past Friday night and no one caught it
until the next day. Our DBA has made a big stink about monitoring TSM
and alerting when something is wrong. The DBA and another admin think
they can write some code to do this "alerting" on the 8493E message in
the activity log.

My question is: What tools are you folks using to monitor TSM and alert
you to any problems.

Nicholas
