IBM Tivoli Storage Manager TSM data collection for HPP

Requirements:

• a Windows workstation
• the TSM client software installed on that workstation

Steps:

1. Download the ZIP file containing the tool to a Windows workstation in the customer's environment. This tool must be installed on a Windows workstation.
2. Unpack the ZIP file in the same folder as the TSM "dsmadmc.exe" executable (as it uses it).
3. On Windows-7 sytems, "dsmadmc.exe" must have the "Run as Administrator" setting enabled. Please check and set accordingly.
4. Alter the settings in the top of the file to suit your TSM system. Below is an example (in red) of what may need to be changed:
    
   • rem ***********************************************
   • set COLLDIR="c:\Collection TSMServername 02-08-2014"
   • set TSMADDRESS=192.168.10.39
   • set TCPPORT=1500
   • set ID=admin
   • set PWD=admin
   
   The values for 'ID' (login), 'PWD' (password), and 'TSMADDRESS' (the TSM master server) are the ones that need to be changed to match your TSM environment. A unique value for 'COLLDIR' (the collection directory/folder) must be chosen for each system against which the tool is run. Unless things were changed at the customer site, there usually should be no need to change 'TCPPORT'.
   A new version (.BAT file) of the script must be created for each TSM system.
5. Run the tool. (No special command-line arguments are needed)
6. ZIP up the collections directory/folder.
7. Upload the resulting ZIP file(s) to TUF for analysis.
