You should also look into Servergraph, which can send email alerts when things like this go wrong. I have benefited from those messages on more than one occasion. A problem we had recently with a few drives was that they would just lock up. The Library would think they were busy, but no data would go in or out, and eventually TSM would time out on the drive.

I wrote a few scripts to query TSM, ie number of drives offline, number of paths offline Regards, Stephen. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicholas Rodolfich Sent: Wednesday, 30 January 2008 7:31 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] What to use for TSM monitoring/alerting Hello All, Thanks for your help!! We are running TSM 5.3.4 with a IBM 3584 library. Our library has not exactly been the Pinnacle of MTBF. All the drives have been replaced, some more than once and the medium changer has been replaced twice. All of this since April 2007. The medium changer died this past Friday night and no one caught it until the next day. Our DBA has made a big stink about monitoring TSM and alerting when something is wrong. The DBA and another admin think they can write some code to do this "alerting" on the 8493E message in the activity log. My question is: What tools are you folks using to monitor TSM and alert you to any problems.
