Just wondering, I tried to install it today on aix 5.2 and 5.3 and each time, the interface is not working. I can install the stuff but I get an error. I don't remember the exact error, but when I tried do add a TSM server, I got a servlet error so. After searching the logfiles, I found a java error that a file could not be found. Nice stuff.
I like AIX 5.3, you can shrink file systems online :) > Lets hope IBM brings back the Webinterface asap, because I did not see > advantages of the ISC yet. The advantage is that they want to create 1 interface to manage TSM, Notes, Websphere, DB2, .... > When I test created a diskpool volume of 5GB on my Linux TSM 5.3 server it > failed at almost 5GB with no apperent reason. When I did it manually (long > live dsmadmc) it went just fine. Good to know. "Use the new GUI interface, but if that fails, use the old, trusted command line". I once saw a hugh list of stuff that can not be done with the ISC because it's not supported. So you still need to command line to do some stuff or you are out of luck. I also found out that you can't use -se=<name> if you use dsmj. So I hacked dsmj so you can specify a server name. AI dsm.opt file is generated in /tmp on the fly and the needed DSM environment is set so the dsm.opt file is used and not the default one. Stef
