Creating TSM Storage and Node Sets in OD 9.5 iSeries
« on: December 07, 2016, 11:40:01 AM »
When CMOD was under V7R1 8.x.x.x, we had introduced TSM Storage and we used following QSH command to add storage set and storage node:

arsadm set -h ONDDEV -a a -n OD_7D -A a -N OD_7D -T n -i OD_7D -w od_7d -d 'Tivoli Storage Manager' -D 'TSM Node' -v
             

Now after upgrading to 9.5 OS V7R2 since arsadm no longer supported according to documentation, I am using following command with XML file but I am getting an error.

arsxml add -h ONDTEST -i /home/sa006/addtsmstorageset.xml -v

where my XML file looks like as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <onDemand xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="/QIBM/ProdData/OnDemand/bin/xml/ondemand.xsd">
  <storageSet name="OD_7D" description="Tivoli Storage Manager" >
  <node name="OD_7D" description="TSM Node" server="*ONDEMAND"
     logon="OD_7D" password="od_7d" loadData="Yes" accessMethod="TSM" />
  </storageSet>
</onDemand>

And when I run my QSHELL I get following error:

 arsxml add -h ONDTEST -i /home/sa006/addtsmstorageset.xml -v                                                           
 ARS6822I Attempting login for userid '' on server 'ONDTEST' ...                                                       
 ARS7709I Adding storageSet, OD_7D                                                                                     
 ARS7709I Adding storageSet-node, OD_7D-OD_7D                                                                           
 ARS7740E The server attribute cannot have a value of '*ONDEMAND' when the accessMethod attribute has a value of 'TSM'.
 ARS7761I Add of storageSet-node, OD_7D-OD_7D failed.                                                                   
 ARS7761I Add of storageSet, OD_7D failed.                                                                             
 $     

Please HELP.....

TSM is deprecated on IBM i, and so you should be moving away from it, or using it via an MP object server.  If you choose the latter, the XML for creating or updating the storage set has changed with the deprecation to require that the host name of the object server be specified on the server attribute.  This is documented in an IBM service technote:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21976801

and in the 2Q 2015 OnDemand Newsletter.  Newsletters are available here:
