Hello tsmadm.pl users!
Can you believe this, it's been for almost a year since we last "met" here?
Meanwhile we were at TSM Symposium 2011 in Dresden, worked a lot with our clients, many things happened in our private life as well so it's really no surprise you haven't heard from us lately.
I’m a bit disappointed because nobody sent any money via PayPal. It’s really not for the money but it meant for me nobody considered seriously to use tsmadm.pl…
I’d have liked to measure somehow how many people use this tool and I had no other idea how to do this. So please think it over again! ;-)
Just to inform you, this domain tsmadm.pl costs me about 24.000,- HUF(about 80. EUR)/year. So if you can help me to keep this site online, please do something!
Another thing to mention is the Forum. Nobody has used it except trolls so I’m closing it right now. I’m thinking to create a simple forum topic at adsm.org for us in the future.
I don’t want to mourn for these things so let’s jump to what has changed, what's new and what are our future plans!
# Done #
Several minor fixes were done (password 'encryption', global color highlighter, grep, regexp, bla, bla ...) but the most important change for those who didn’t followed the development via SVN repository is the tsmadm.conf file simplification. We dropped the two-section idea (Windows&Unix) and use only one section as per the start-up of Wizard. If you plan to migrate from v1 to v2 consider this and migrate your tsmadm.conf file first or simply delete the old one and follow the Wizard.
# Added/recreated commands #
show backupp (remastered version, I finally used the summary table instead of collecting the necessary info from the activity log) It is faster.
show status
show drives
show timing
edit script command
# In progress #
edit cloptsets
and of course documentation at:
# Future, maybe we’ll call it v3 ;-) #
Summarization and pruning solution for archived historical data.
And last (but not least), I’d like to thank YOU for sending any emails, comments or issues to me.
Keep on doing so guys!
Thanks for reading,
