Hey TSMers-

Today we attempted to explain TSM backup/archive policies to a group of
DFSMS/HSMers and ARCSERVers...and the finer points of TSM backup policies
didn't exactly come through with the clarity we had hoped---

Anyone got an SLA to share for TSM backup/recovery? All input is more than
welcome-

Many Thanks- John

We are just in the process of purchasing it, I demo'd it for 3 weeks and
found it very useful!  We have 20 TSM servers and are adding 4 more this
week.  If you demo it, contact them and get a license that will allow you
to monitor more than  1 TSM server, you will quickly see the benefits!

There is another product, ServerGraph, but the cost is much more, but you
might want to check it out also....

Hi,

We use it to monitor our TSM servers. Its a good product to monitor things
like tape usage, admin schedule timing and so on. It has some buildin
reports and graphs which can give you a easy to read overview of things
like
diskpool usage, client sessions and db and log consumption. If you can
spare
the time, use the demo first.

Gr,

Karel

Anyone used this software, what do you all think about it?  I am
considering
buying it.  I have upwards of ten TSM servers to manage.  Any completing
products I should consider.

Thanks,
