And none of what you writes makes the TSM software audit of licenses meaningful. You have to know OUTSIDE of what TSM can tell who which nodes are desktops and which are servers and how many processors are in the server machines. Then tell TSM uopir are licensed for enough nodes to make it shut u

No. TSM for Sysback works with network boot or NIM to start a network boot and then pull the install image from tsm/sysback. The sysback image is stored in tsm format which means that tsm is required to pull it back. david >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/17/2004 12:56:36 PM >>> We currently use sysback

At least with tsm 5.1.6.3, "move data" has an option, which defaults to no, to reconstruct the aggregates. However, move data can cause volume contention that you do not get with reclaim. David >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/29/2004 8:19:50 AM >>> >No you can't multithread a reclaim process, but you ca
