5.4 to 5.5 Upgrade and TIVsmSlic

2009-06-22 Thread Minns, Farren - Chichester
Hi all, a few questions for you. When upgrading from TSM 5.4 to 5.5 (on Solaris 9), do I need to:- uninstall/reinstall the TIVsmSlic package? delete or rename the nodelock file? As I use disaster recovery manager I assume I just have to register tsmee.lic? Do I not have to register a specific

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is it wise in terms of security to force Java 1.4 to be run? Although I see it was updated too in this latest fix, its use is deprecated. In our case, there are users whose machines we never see, and I'm worried that if we got them to move to 1.4 then they

Maybe the classic client encryption could solve this. Then only the customer would be able to access the data and there would be no need for scrubbing. On 20/06, Guenther Bergmann wrote: > Hi *TSMlers, > > given the following scenario: > - one TSM Server > - a lot of filesystem clients (mostly AIX

This past weekend we started the process of upgrading our TSM environment from v5.4.1 to v.5.2.2. We have 2 dedicated library managers (3584 libs) and 7 tsm library client instances and a bunch of storage agents. The first step was to upgrade _one_ of the library managers. After we upgrade this l

Richard, I think something quick and dirty would be changing the port numbers on your library manager's dsmserv.opt file. No other client, STAgent or server would contact this instance, and you could prep a modified dsm.sys/opt to let you admin client work. When finished, just return the corr

The old approach, was to have a scheduler process per service group. (The scheduler was set to manual, and the clustering app starts the scheduler when the service group starts.) Each service group would then have a unique nodename, and you configure a unique port number on the client as well. Nod
