A great book is gone. The TSM Administrator's Guide has been obsoleted
as of v7.1.3. Its priceless collection of how-to information has been
scattered to the winds, which basically means it is lost. A pity,
because this book had been a model of complete, well-organized,
documentation.
The "Solution Guides" are suitable only for planning a new TSM
installation, and do not address existing TSM sites. Furthermore, they
are much too narrow, and do not cover real-world existing TSM customers.
For instance, we use a blended disk and tape solution (D2D2D2T) to
create a good working compromise between faster restore and storage
cost.
Following links to topics in the online Information Center is a
haphazard process at best, which is never repeatable. There is no Index
or Table of Contents for the online doc - so you cannot even see what
information is there. Unless you actually log in, there is no way to
even leave a "trail of breadcrumbs". Browser bookmarks are useless here,
due to IBM's habit of changing URLs frequently. This is an extremely
inefficient use of my time in finding out how to do something in TSM.
Search is not an acceptable replacement for good organization. Search is
necessary, but it cannot stand alone.
Building a "collection" is not an answer to this requirement. It still
lacks a coherent Index or Table of Contents, so once my collection gets
sizeable, it is also unuseable. And with each successive version, I will
be required to rebuild my collection from scratch all over again.
Despite the fact that it had become fairly large, I humbly ask that the
Administrator's Guide be published again, as a single PDF, in v7.1.4.
