You guys ought to work this up to complete snuff and then attend the TSM
Symposia in Oxford and present it! You can even run it on the demo systems
we'll have there.
This is the kind of useful stuff we can use. See the website URL that
Sheelagh has posted about the conference.

John
The method to enter the information is pretty much under control, my
problem is how to get the specific info required automatically.
The method to get the info into the database will go something like
this.....
1) A script, BAT file (what ever is suitable) is run to generate the base
information.
2) The information is usually verbose and needs to be reduced, In the case
of NT I used REXX (the rexx executable from the resource kit).
3) The reduced report is FTP'd to the TSM server
4) On the TSm server a second file pertaining to the client exists which
contains info that I am unable to get dynamically (usually there because I
do not know how to get it rather than not be possible to find). A script
(Korn shell in our case) will concatenate the two reports and generate the
appropriate TSM batch commands.
I am yet to decide if a client schedule (CMD) should be used to generate the
dynamic report & ftp process to if I should run it as a post process of the
incr backup.
The loading of the info into the database via the ksh script will be
executed a step in the backup db & prepare script

Pete,
I too have toyed with this concept but never really come up with anything
concrete. The winmsd command will extract a lot of information to a text
file. This would be nice to import into the DRM feature of TSM, but how? If
we can find a way to pump the output of winmsd into DRM via pre and post
backup commands, we may have something here!!!
Please, keep me informed and I will do the same.

Subject: Building the DRM Characteristics - How to dynamically create
them
I would like to be able to run a post backup command that will generate the
characteristics of the clients which will in turn be read as input for
defining the DRM characteristics.
For example, on NT I intend run a "winmsd /fs" and extract info from the
generated output
I appreciate any help on how to generate the characteristics for HP and SUN
that would be required to rebuild a server
eg lanscan on HP & ifconfig on HP
Thanks
Peter Griffin
