Hi Nicholas, we could recommend the "TSMManager" - see http://www.tsmmanager.com/. It is easy to use, you can download a 30 day trial, and it is installed within minutes. We tried different ways about 1 year before, selfmade things as well as IBM operational reporting;

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.
