Project Name: TSM Migration to UNIX Discovery
Project Leader: Dave Kalenderian

Accomplishments past period:
- Held project kickoff meeting.
- Met with Tivoli, IBM and IBM Business partner reps to gather
information regarding TSM on UNIX and comparsions with TSM on VM. They
also provided TSM UNIX software license pricing as well as RS6000
hardware costs.
- Created TSM UNIX Discovery web page.
- Revised and published initial TSM to UNIX Discovery project plan.
- Contacted TSM support at Princeton U. They are about 1 year ahead
of us in terms of transitioning TSM from VM to Sun Solaris. Learning
from their experience could/would be very helpful. A possible meeting
is in the works.
- Coordinated/shared information with VMSST regarding TSM hardware/software
costs as VMSST looks at upgrading VM hardware. TSM UNIX costs and the
cost savings associated with special bids for hardware/software
on VM with and without TSM could significantly impact timeline of TSM
migration to UNIX effort.
Goals for next period:
- Refine and understand hardware/software cost issues.
- Align and compare multiple hardware platforms costs
- Cost out VM and UNIX software scenerios
Issues:
- Outcome of VMSST mainframe upgrade could impact outcome of this
project.
Key learnings:
- None at this time.
Team dynamics:
- Good.
Additional comments:
- None at this time.
