This wouldn't stop you from *running* more than 4 instances, but you wouldn't be able to manage more than four from the Management Console >>> http://bit.ly/agYBOt /David Mc London, UK -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Xav Paice Sent: 22 March 2010 23:02 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Multiple instances on the same server ----- "Shawn Drew" <shawn.d...@americas.bnpparibas.com> wrote: > From: "Shawn Drew" <shawn.d...@americas.bnpparibas.com> > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Sent: Tuesday, 23 March, 2010 8:35:58 AM > Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Multiple instances on the same server > > Now I'm doubting myself. > The manual shows you how to do it, so I guess that's good enough. > Disregard my previous comment. > > I could have sworn i read about this on the official IBM TSM rss > feed. > There was some random problem and under the solution field, there was > a > statement like "multiple TSM instances on TSM6.x is unsupported and > must > be put into separate LPARs" > > http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/rss/tivoli/663.xml?rss=s663&ca=rsstivoli > > At around the release time for 6.1 they were saying this due to a problem with one of the beta sites, but it all seems to have gone away now. There would surely be more noise about it if it were unsupported :) No virus found in this incoming message.
