Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Storage
Product - Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Family
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Tivoli
Product family - Storage
Product - Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Family
We will not be implementing a solution as suggested in the next year or two. However, we do find this to be related to another request for enhancement #33743 in what can be achieved with attribute tagging to relieve your pain points. We would recommend watching that RFE for delivery. If you would like your original request to be reconsidered after the next release of our product, please resubmit .
Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, we do understand the requirement and the rationale behind it and will look into implementing this in a future release (please note that this is not a commitment to include this in a specific timeframe), we have also provided some ways of relief in the most recent release (6.4) where one can define schedules for host clusters and is able to exclude (or include) VM using wildards. This may help in same cases to avoid this 512 character limit by updating the dsm.opt file with something like: domain.vmfull=vmhostcluster=cluster1;vm=Dept10*;
