I have no "authoritative source", but two different IBM staffers have commented that a new GUI is in development. Much more like that used for the IBM-XIV SAN, apparently. That tool is very well designed, IMO, but I can see squeezing all the components/complexity of TSM mgmt into it will take

I think most other product supply it with a working gui where as tivoli dropped the tsm web gui and has not provided tsm with any working gui for the server forcing the admins to cmd, shit tons of custom scripts and/or 3th party tooling. Working with commvault besides tsm, gui delivered with pro

At least our complains here could be a good feedback to IBM that their product has not been successful in this version. I would be happy to use it again if the subtle so-called bugs are addressed.

Admin Center is slow, the interface is clunky and annoying, the look and feel is anything but modern and it is riddled with bugs and dependencies to browser versions etc. Last time I tried it was 6.2 on a brand new two socket HP DL380 with 48GB of RAM. Slow. 7 years of development and still in a b

I do like the GUI of AdminCenter, I don't look forward to everything via command line. But, using documented versions of the browser isn't the fix. I think I had about 8 PMRs just to deal with trying to install Monitoring/AdminCenter. Once installed, I'm finding it's not ready for prime ti

I've had several PMRs re 6.3 and 6.3.1 Monitoring/AdminCenter/CommonReporting. Also on Windows 2008 R2. 6.3 wasn't easy, but 6.3.1 upgrade was even tougher. Most PMRs resulted in issuing long, complex command line commands to try to move forward. At one point, I couldn't run the GUI installer

The problem here is that you are getting inappropriate response from IBM Tech Support. No open PMR should drag on for months. There is no reason it should not function on Win2008 R2, I've got it running on 2 customers on Win2008 R2. Any time you have a problem that goes on and on and gets no re

Similar experience with Admin Center 6.3, but this time in "manage servers" section nothing is listed under the "select action" menu. I played with the GUI and clicked on other links in the portal with no hope then the drop-down menu appeared! Although I have added TSM servers, when I come back to

Do yourself a favor and don't use the admin center. Try a third party tool like StorServer Console, TSM Manager or just use the command line. Just came back from a TSM user group and saw ServerGraph which looks promising. On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 5:45 PM, Jim Neal wrote: > Hi All, > > > >
