Re: TSM v63 is out there to download from the Passport Advantage page
Forgive me for coming late to the party, but: I see Win 2003 Server, and windows vista (both 32 and 64 bit) is supported, but we can't support 32 bit Linux boxes? What kind of crap is that? If anyone from IBM is paying attention, you need to pick up 32 bit Linux, or risk alienating much of your customer base.

Re: TSM v63 is out there to download from the Passport Advantage page
Easy, most all of the 32bit boxes we have left are so because of Vendor\App requirements. I know what you're saying is true, but there are "vendors" who for some reason haven't realized it up until very recently, including IBM. The TKLM servers we run would NOT install on a 64bit RHEL server, I had to back them down to 32 bit. Now that they're there I'm not sure I can convert over to a 64bit OS. There are other apps/vendors in similar setups. For me, as long as the 6.2 client works, I'm good. And, like you I am glad to see a true 64 bit client for Linux, my problem is that they can continue to support Vista at 32 bit, and yet not Linux at that same level.

Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?
This question came up again here. If a TSM admin with system authorization knows the client password for a certain TSM node, what keeps him from restoring files from that node to another server of his choosing? Sorry to resuscitate this old horse. With many thanks, Keith
Re: Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?
Even better, an admin with system privileges can even restore the data without knowing the client password, using his own credentials. The lesson here: a system admin can do everything with everything. The only way to prevent that is have the entire actlog be forwarded 'real time' to a central logging server that he can't touch and the death penalty on any action you don't want him to perform. (And full time auditing etc). On 25 okt. 2011, at 22:07, Keith Arbogast wrote: > This question came up again here.

Re: Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?
Nothing at all. If it's a concern, then you can either use the TSM client encryption, or some application-level encryption prior to TSM reading it at all. Of course, even with the data encrypted, the administrator could compromise the system in other ways, such as deleting backups outright. To some degree the administrator does have to be trusted, and if you can't trust him/her then you need to find someone else to do backups. -- -- Skylar Thompson (skyl...@u.washington.edu) -- Genome Sciences Department, System Administrator -- Foege Building S046, (206)-685-7354 -- University of Washington School of Medicine On 10/25/11 01:07 PM, Keith Arbogast wrote: This question came up again here.

Re: Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?
It's actually a bit worse than that - an admin can read the data even without a password reset using proxy nodes.

Re: Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?
I guess that depends on the privs the TSM admin has to your servers. In my environment as the Senior TSM admin I have admin privs or root access to all the machines being backed up. Which means I could in theory restore data to any server I wanted... however I could also copy data from one machine to another, in theory. For other admins, in our environment, that do not have admin privs they don't have access to log into machines to configure a restore from another machine. FYI: TSM admins could also change the password to a client machine to restore data anywhere, if they wanted. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Hart, Charles A Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 3:22 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?

Re: Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?
anybody willing to do evil could find a way to have a system connected to the network where he has full access. Some laptop? Even with port security on the switch... just fix the ethernet card mac address :) Basically, trust your admins to do the right thing, or don't hire them in the first place.

Re: Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?
I think the real problem is not with the administrator. The real problem is that an owner of client A can restore data from client B only by knowing the TSM admin password. Think many customers hooked up to the same TSM server. And how often is that particular password changed in a lib/config manager environment? Fair chance that it is "out there". Hans Chr.

Re: TSM Client 6.2.3.3 installtion issue
Thank you very much for advice. I have tried to create service by using command line: C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient>dsmcutil" install cad /name:"TSM Client Acceptor" /node:ICM /password:xxx /optfile:"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt" TSM Windows NT Client Service Configuration Utility Command Line Interface - Version 6, Release 2, Level 3.3 (C) Copyright IBM Corporation, 1990, 2011, All Rights Reserved.

I changed our SOP to use the command line install, as it's easy to just copy and paste the command into a command prompt window to avoid such issues.

Re: TSM 6.2 in HACMP Clustered Environment
Hi, the db2 catalog is part of the startserver script, you may safely skip that step. I'd be interested to hear about your fs layout and experiences. TSM 6.2 in HACMP is not very common and many people I talk to have problems with TSM v6 in fail-over clusters.
