  • SKU: TSMMANAGER


The purpose of TSMManager is to monitor and control TSM servers.

The purpose of TSMManager is to monitor and control TSM servers. It consists of a central collector part that is in charge of all communication with up to 30 TSM servers, a viewer part that can be installed on multiple PC's and supplies the user interface and a built-in webserver that allows easy access to pulling lists for the vaulting function.

Key Features:

  • Vaulting: The vaulting function of TSMManager is a complete replacement for Tivoli's DRM feature. It will handle everything necessary with regard to moving tapes out of libraries, producing pull-lists for operators, returning volumes and checking them in to libraries.
  • Backupset Generation: If you think about replacing your monthly archives with backupsets, then it is very easy with this function. It will control retention, scheduling and use parallel streams to generate backupsets from the nodes you choose.
  • Alert/Reporting:
    • Send a daily e-mail notification informing you of exception conditions in your TSM server.
    • Show a visual indication of the servers availability, updated every 2 minutes.
  • Data Gathering: The collector collects 2 types of data :
    • A 14-day history with measurements taken every 15 minutes
    • A 2-year history with measurements taken every 24 hours
  • Monitoring Operations: You can optionally make TSMManager keep an eye on certain conditions and alert you if one is true:
    • If there are outstanding requests that needs to be answered
    • If the number of scratch volumes in a library falls below a certain threshold
  • Utilities: An editor for client option sets, an editor for server scripts, checkin/checkout control, labeling control and auditing control
  • Display Functions:
    • A graphical overview of the timing aspects of your client and administrative schedules.
    • A graphical overview over your drive usage.
  • Report Functions:
    • Many different reports can be generated showing all collected data either as text, graphs or both
    • Reports can be printed or saved as pdf, rtf, xls and csv files, or sent as e-mail
  • Web Access Function: There are 2 types of web access:
    • Access for TSM administrators that need a quick status display or access to the vaulting functions from a web browser.
    • Access for users that need the backup status for their servers, but who are not allowed to access the TSM server itself.
