Remco,
Can we see/have your script? We came up with a similar solution and would
like to "compare notes". By "san discovery", do you mean the TSM server
option?

regarding 3:
1- sandiscovery should help resolve this
2- to avoid sandiscovery I've created a shell script to rename the tape
devices based on serial or wwpn so each drive has the same name on every
server.

created scripts to simply "update libvol" the owner information for all
the appropriate libvols if it was ever necessary.

until now I had been passed over for someone with "more recent
experience". So giving up a 5 day a week zamboni job with little pay and
5am start times was actually hard to do when I got the call, believe it or
not. It was also difficult leaving because the CHL team just added 4
retired NHL players as owners/coaches/team advisers, and a new coach,
which means this team is going to be even more competitive in the future.
Craig Ludwig, Richard Matvichuk (Assistant coach), Ed Belfour and Mike
Modano, Along with current owner Steve Duchesne, will bring real talent to
the team, which is the very reason I would prefer to be at the rink every
day instead of sitting at home.
>> Anyway, I have just been given a 6 month engagement to help with TSM at
a local site here in Dallas. I get to work from home but currently do not
have a laptop or access to the environment. While waiting I've been asked
to brush up on TSM DB restores, which I have done on 5.5, and TSM Library
Manager/Lib Client configuration, which I am not familiar with, so I'm
looking for the current IBM document storage site, while looking for
responses I'll certainly look myself but wanted to try to make contact
with those of you familiar with the Library Manager. I don't have
information as to the version(s) of TSM I'll be dealing with but as I
recall the site, as it used to be configured, allowed you to select quite
easily. And while I've kept most of my notes from the past I don't have
links to those places I used to get information. Again, since I have never
worked with the TSM Library Manager/Lib Client config it's going to be
from scratch learning.

close to some great hockey, he most certainly knows his TSM though, which
is what this list is for obviously.
