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 cu

I've only seen that once in a while. 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. Especially since it can take a while for the gui wizard to run at times. See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!

How so? Given the choice I would always install linux amd64/x86_64 if at all possible (and it almost always is on any hardware purchased in the past 5 years or so), even if I wouldn't need the 64 bit part for the application. For those few servers that are not 64-bit capable, TSM 5.5, 6.1 and 6.

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 h

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

Nothing, it's a policy challenge if they has TSM Sys Admin rights. Kind of like a Cop that sells evidence or takes a bribe, a priest that protects the young ... at some point you have to trust your admin or fire them. In my exp a node pw can be overridden with a Sys admin user and pw. Maybe I ov

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 so

It's actually a bit worse than that - an admin can read the data even without a password reset using proxy nodes. Short of some entries in the activity log, there wouldn't be any evidence of this. -- -- Skylar Thompson (skyl...@u.washington.edu) -- Genome Sciences Department, System Administrator

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 mach

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 man
