TBSM v4.2.1 FP1 New View Definition Role

by doug on March 9, 2010

In TBSM v4.2.1 FP1 a new role has been introduced to allow control over TBSM View Definitions. The new role is called ‘tbsmViewDefinitionAdmin’ and should be added to appropriate groups as appropriate to allow editing View Definitions via the TBSM Service Viewer GUI.

Note that after applying TBSM v4.2.1 FP1, this new role isn’t applied. You may notice that all View Definitions are “grayed out” and unable to be edited. Apply this role to the appropriate groups to gain access to editing View Definitions.

For a review of all TBSM v4.2.1 FP1 roles, review the documentation here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/topic/com.ibm.tivoli.itbsm.doc/adminguide/bsma_opscusers.html

TBSM v4.2.1 FP1 Planning

by doug on March 9, 2010

TBSM v4.2.1 FP1 has been in the wild for a few weeks now. I’ve seen numerous issues with this fix pack related to local server disk space requirements.

Please review each server’s available disk space before starting your FP1 installation. Make sure you have plenty of space available (> 5GB ++) specifically in the /tmp, /home and where you choose to do a backup. Make sure the tbsm install user has permissions to write to that backup location.

If you do not want to do a backup (ie new install & patch), you can use the flag ./install.sh -DNO_BACKUP=true to skip the backup step.

Looking Back at Business Service Management (BSM) in 2009

As I look back at how the BSM industry evolved in 2009, my thoughts focus around 2009 as the year of “Hybrid BSM” players coming into their place in the market. Another term I use here is “BSM for SMB” or even “BSM Lite” to some degree but I feel “Hybrid BSM” is best fitting [...]
