TSM Server: Windows 5.3.2.1

I had looked into SNMP but found it hard/impossible in our
environment to implemend.
The Windows Installation Guide states:

"The subagent communicates with the snmpd daemon, which in turn communicates 
with a management application. The snmpd daemon must support the DPI® protocol. 
Agents are available on AIX."
So if your TSM doesn't run on AIX you would need an additional AIX server just
to implement SNMP.

We use another approach:
To get the "SNMP traps" we let TSM send the filtered messages to the eventlog.
A freeware takes this messages and sends them to our syslog server which 
forwards
them to NAGIOS.

To query TSM values (failed client schedules, log utilization, db utilization, 
free scratch tapes, tapes with errors, online drives, online paths ..) and 
create
graphics for some of them we use some NAGIOS scripts that can easily be found 
at 
nagiosexchange.

The setup needed some time but now we are happy with the results.

If you need further infromation I would be glad to be of service.
