I have no "authoritative source", but two different IBM staffers have
commented that a new GUI is in development. Much more like that used for
the IBM-XIV SAN, apparently.
That tool is very well designed, IMO, but I can see squeezing all the
components/complexity of TSM mgmt into it will take some work.
Of course, this could be rumor.... but I'm hoping.
Perhaps for a new thread: is anyone getting far with the Congos reporting
component in 6.3.1?

I think most other product supply it with a working gui where as tivoli
dropped the tsm web gui and has not provided tsm with any working gui for
the server forcing the admins to cmd, shit tons of custom scripts and/or
3th party tooling.
Working with commvault besides tsm, gui delivered with product only meets
part of the admin needs. But at least, tsm should come with at least some
basic (web based) gui out of the box.

I'm curious. DO other backup programs (NetBackup, Legato, etc) have 3rd
party GUI's available for them? I suspect not.
