Hi Michael,
Any particular reason why you'd want to send TSM events to Netview and
*then* to TEC, as opposed to sending them directly to TEC and cutting
out the 'middle man'? Is Netview adding any extra value to these events
for you or providing you with any extra visibility? Tivoli Storage
Manager Server does include a TEC adapter built-in which requires
minimal configuration (IP address of TEC server, TCP port that TEC is
listening on, granularity of events etc), and also very comprehensive
control over exactly which events TSM will forward on to TEC. Chapter 20
of the TSM Administrator's Guide gives you a lot of useful information
on this:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.its
maixn.doc/anragd53619.htm
Additionally/alternatively, there is TSM Operational Reporting - this
might be able to give you some alerting/eventing with a little more
control/flexibility, including the ability to write custom
reports/monitors. My esteemed colleague Steve Strutt from IBM/Tivoli
here in the UK put together a couple of years ago Redpaper on
integrating TSM Operational Reporting with the Tivoli Framework to send
events to TEC (including some rules correllation of which you speak) -
see this link:

Hope that helps.

We have been asked to manage events originating from my client's Tivoli
Storage Manager systems.
We have found reference to a couple of MIB's; which we can process via
Netview, and forward on to TEC, as required. Anybody here care to
comment on this process? What best practices do you recommend?
Also, we find TSM documentation references to an event adapter
(receiver), including these BAROC files:
ibmtsm.baroc
itsmuniq.baroc
itsmdpex.baroc
Again, anybody here care to comment on this process? What best
practices do you recommend?
I have worked enough with TSM to know, and to respect, the voluminous
stream of events that these processes can engender.
I am especially interested in recommendations regarding managing events
on the TSM side.
Equally important is correlation. Are there any rulesets available for
managing TSM events?
What do you think?
