I'm almost 100% certain that it can, but since we don't do that I can't
remember. However, because you setup alerts with OS level commands,
(mail -s . . . ) depending on the OS you run the Servergraph monitoring
app on. Ours runs on a RHEL 3 server, so if the OS can send SNMP alters
to another system, then Servergraph should be able to as well.

Agreed - Get your library to send SNMP to your ticketing system, you
could also setup your Tivoli Server to send SNMP traps for the ANR
messages you want help desk tickets on (like DB Log @ x %, Db @ x
percent , paths , drives offline etc....)You could even have TSM SNMP's
send traps to a helpdesk system and have alerts generated to your
platform admins when client backups fail... And the TSM SNMP function is
part of the TSM base code so no added expense.
Not sure if servrgraph sends snmp's I checked out their product
brochure and searched for SNMP and it didn't find anything, but that
brochure may not have all the detail...

Do you know if there is an eval program for Servergraph? Do you know
what the cost is?

You should also look into Servergraph, which can send email alerts when
things like this go wrong. I have benefited from those messages on more
than one occasion. A problem we had recently with a few drives was that
they would just lock up. The Library would think they were busy, but no
data would go in or out, and eventually TSM would time out on the drive.

Hi Nicholas,
The 3584 can send snmp traps, this is configured via the specialist gui.
I wrote a few scripts to query TSM, ie number of drives offline, number
of paths offline
Regards,
Stephen.

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
