Reporting

Once every 24 hours, at a time you decide, TSMManager will collect information about all abnormal events in your TSM server, format them and send them as an e-mail to one or more receivers. In addition to that, the report will be stored on the built-in webserver for easy access from a web browser.

The information collected includes:

  • Database backup not performed
  • Database nearing full
  • Maximum log usage above limit
  • Client schedules not completed
  • Clients without contact to the server
  • Client backup activities
  • Filespaces not backed up
  • Volumes in unavailable state
  • Full volumes with low utilization
  • Volumes exceeding a number of read or write errors
  • Failed processes
  • Drives not online
  • Tape storage pools with very high utilization
  • Libraries with few scratch tapes left
  • Severe, warning, error messages for the last 24 hours

All limits are user adjustable and you can select which items you want included in the report.

Below you see an example of what a report may look like:
