Ok Aaron
you can find the sofware on this ftp site to download for free
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/server/v5r3/
you can then setup your tsm server and configure it, and when you revicve the accual cd´s you only need to replace one file to make it a licensed version it think the filename is adsmlic.dll (windows) or something like that.
now there is no one correct way in deploying TSM, you need to configure it based on your needs. i recomend you read the 2 ibm redbooks "IBM Tivoli Storage Management Concepts, SG24-4877-03" and "IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide".
I storngly recomend that you plan your installation carefully, a good tsm install is essential for everything, both regarding cost and managment. A good TSM install can bring tears of joy to every administrator eyes, but a bad one can quicly turn into your worst nigthmare.
so my tip for you
rule 1. planning
rule 2. planning
rule 3. more planning

I am seeking to find the Try and Buy for 60 days for the IBM TSM
Software. We are switching our backup process to TSM and I just wanted
to practice the install and test a few things out before we do a full
implementation. I noticed in all of the Red and White Papers that there
is a CD that can be ordered from IBM. I was also looking for some
planning suggestions to prepare for the installation of TSM. In my
previous job experience I have used MAPICS to do backup and recovery.
Thanks!
Aaron
