Note June, 2010: New Server Name for ADSM

Increasing use of the ACCC's ADSM service has recently caused us to add a third ADSM server machine. When we asked individuals to switch from the original adsm-1.cc.uic.edu server to adsm-2.cc.uic.edu, we asked them to reconfigure their TSM software, changing borh server address and port.

Rather than have to ask people to do this again as we now add adsm-4.cc.uic.edu (and again and again as we add additional servers), we have decided to give everyone their "own" ADSM server for their own ADSM account, with a name of the form:

yournodename.adsmserv.uic.edu

Nodenames are of the form: netid.adsm1, thus the server name for Ada Byron's adabyron.adsm1 ADSM account will be:

adabyron.adsm1.adsmserv.uic.edu

The port in all cases will be 1500. If you are already using ADSM, this will require one more change on your part. But it will be the last, regardless of what the ACCC does on our end with our actual ADSM server machines.

You can switch to this nodename now; if you are already using ADSM, the instructions you need are in Switching to Your Personalized ADSM Server Hostname.

TSM For Mac OS

There are separate versions of TSM for just about all Mac OS versions, and they all work differently. IBM's Apple Macintosh Client Requirements has an overview of the TSM versions that work for the various versions for Mac OS X.

Links to the current versions for Mac OS X are available through the ADSM Download page. (Read through the policies and conventions and agree to them at the bottom of the page.)

Note that versions of Mac OS X previous to 10.3.8 are no longer supported and archive services are not available at UIC.)

For old versions of Mac OS:

• TSM version 5.1 for Mac OS 9
• The previous TSM Backup-Archive Client for the Mac client is still available; it works with Mac OS System 7.x, Mac OS 8.0, Mac OS 8.1, and Mac OS 8.5.x.
