    If you're looking to centralize the making of mksysb's then you need to look into setting up a NIM server instead. Or go find another product. Maybe FDR?

    Good luck.

    For that you'll either need to go with what the previous poster recommended - NIM

    or there's a separate Licensed Product which can interface with TSM called TSM for Sysback.

    From what I remember, it's fairly cheap ($800 US or so) per system, and can restore mksysb images over the network.
    Hope this helps
