[ADSM-L] THANKS! All you lurkers on ADSM-L - RESULTS (was: Tracking who "owns" a node)
2009-02-27 08:31:19
Many thanks; about 60 responses, statistically significant I guess:
Short answer: most everybody uses the contact field in some way.
Someone suggested using TSM 6.1's extensible database schema.
Sure, but ouch: I envision each of us extending the schema in a
different way.
There might be some benefit in being public about our plans to extend
the schema;
then people with similar ideas could cooperate and give their
extensions to the rest of us.
Sort of an Open Schema Development model ;-}
Details:
Count How do you track who owns a node?
12 0. We don't.
12 1. We put an email address in the node's CONTACT field.
17 2. We put structured info (like "joe AT foo DOT org; Joe Jones; HR;
212-223-1111") in the CONTACT field
8 3. We put un-structured stuff in the CONTACT field, like name,
phone number, email, or whatever we have
0 4. We put the email address in the node's EMAIL_ADDRESS field
5 5. We use home-grown spreadsheets or databases or shell scripts
4 6. We use 3rd-party apps like Servergraph, or Bocada, etc.
6 7. None of the above

A little help please?
I want more responses to my poll, about how you track who owns a node.
THIS MEANS YOU!
It'll take you JUST THREE CLICKS, starting here:

Why should you do this?
Guilt:
After all the great advice you've gotten off this list, isn't it
time to help a little?
Logic:
Many people write software to make TSM better. Help them to help
you!
Greed:
I'll buy beer at the next TSM symposium for anyone who responds.
Come on, share the knowledge please.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Tracking who "owns" a node
For every node we back up, there is someone who uses it.
This person knows that:
* They want it backed up ONLY between 2AM and 4AM;
* They can't afford TDP so please back up the flat-file database dump
and ignore the true DB directories;
* They prefer to exclude drive C:
* For recovery, the application depends on 3 other nodes too and so
on.
It helps us do a better job, if we know who these people are.
So, how do you map people to nodes?
I'm trying to see what's common, so our bolt-on software can discover
this mapping if it's there, or help you set it up if it's not.
Reply to me off-list and I'll report back the results to the community
here.
Just pick a number below (I'm trying to make this so easy ;-} ), and/
or discuss in detail.
Phone calls welcome too.
