hi, here are some cool commands in TSM for thos who didn´t know about it.

 
Some other usefull show commands are:

 

SHow commands             Unsupported commands to reveal various

                          supplementary information.

SHow  Archives  PolicySet  NodeName     Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          archives for a given Node within a Policy Set.

SHow BUFVars              Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          database buffer pool global variables.

SHow CART                 Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          Cart Info from mounted volumes.

SHow CONFIG               Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          Configuration.

SHow CSVars               Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          client schedule variables.

SHow DBVars               Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          database variables.

SHow DEV                  Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          Server Development Team + Server

                          Contributors.

SHow DISK                 Undocumented ADSM server command to show

                          DISKfiles datas.

SHow LIBrary              Undocumented ADSM server command to show=

                          the status of the library and its drives

                          Meaning of fields:

                          busy=3D0 means the drive is not mounted or

                           even acquired by ADSM.

                          busy=3D1 should reflect ADSM using the

                           drive (Query MOunt).  But this could

                           result from drive maintenance.  Fix by

                           trying 'cfgmgr' AIX command, or killing

                           the lmcpd AIX process and then doing

                           'cfgmgr' or '/etc/lmcpd'.

                          online=3D0 means the drive is "offline".

                           In Version 2, this will only be if the

                           polled=3D1.

                           In V3, you can update a drive to be

                           offline, in which case the polled

                           flag will be 0.

                          polled=3D1 means that ADSM could not use

                           the drive for one of three reasons:

                           - The drive is loaded with a Non-ADSM

                             volume (eg a cleaner cartridge, or a

                             volume from the other ADSM server);

                           - The drive is unavailable to the

                             library manager (usually set this way

                             by load/unload failures)

                           - The drive cannot be opened (some

                             other application has it open, or

                             there's some connection problem, etc)

                           polled=3D1 means the server is polling

                           the drive every 30 seconds to see when

                           the above three conditions all clear.

                           (It also means that the online flag

                           should be 0.) When the conditions

                           clear, it turns online back to 1 and

                           the drive should now be available to

                           be acquired.

                          Note that if no tape drive is currently

                          available, ADSM will wait rather than

                          dispose of client and administrative

                          tasks.
