About randomhive

Built around Storage Protect

We work where TSM professionals live — console sessions, ANR floods, multi-server estates, and the tooling gaps IBM leaves behind.

Multi-server operations
Production IBM Storage Protect environments rarely stop at one server. Our tools are designed for estates with many instances — prod, DR, and dev.
ANR-aware by design
Console noise, alert fatigue, and the codes that actually matter — filtering and triage built for real dsmadmc workflows, not generic log viewers.
Browser-first admin
No fat client installs. Open a tab, pick a server, run commands. Mobile-friendly layouts for on-call checks from anywhere.
Live console streaming
Persistent dsmadmc -CONsole sessions merged with command output — the workflow backup teams use every day, without SSH hop chains.
Production monitoring
Scripts and checks for tape libraries, I/O stations, scratch pools, and the operational signals that keep backup windows on track.
Professional workflow
Dark themes, readable monospace output, touch targets that work on a phone — admin UIs designed for the daily work of Storage Protect professionals.
