You do not need a TEC. You must have a TSM server at least 5.1.8 or 5.2.2 (It may work at earlier levels, but is not supported).
If you have a WIn2K TSM server at 5.2.2 or above, TOR is already installed, along with the server code. If you have a lower level Win2K TSM server, or a non-Win2K TSM server, you can run TOR on some other Win2K, Win2003, or WinXP machine. TOR is a separate windows application, nicely packaged. Installing it on a WIn2K or WInXp desktop works nicely. It has no hooks into TSM code, it just issues queries and formats the output into html or email for you. It is more about doing daily monitoring for errors and problems than collecting usage data; it won't replace the accounting log, and has nothing really about tape usage. To install, first go here: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/serv er/NT/5.2.2.2/ Download JUST the TSMCON5222_WIN.exe package to your desktop (assuming you have WIn2K or WInXP). Execute it to install on your desktop. NOW look in the Program Files\tivoli\tsm\console directory, there is a nice README with a lot of information. Look in the 5.2.2 (not 5.2.0) TSM for Windows Admin Guide, there is a chapter on TSM Operational Reporter that tells you how to configure it. It's very simple to set up, it really takes only a few clicks to start generating reports. It's a very nice starter kit for new TSM admins. You can do a limited amount of customizing, but if your scripts are complex, TOR probably will not replace them. My biggest complaint is the lack of information about how tapes are utilized, and that you can't get to the README until after you do the install!
