 ===== Data Extraction From TSM ===== ===== Data Extraction From TSM =====
  
 +The first step in synchronizing your TSM Library with TapeTrack is to extract the [[object:volume|Volume]] data from your TSM instance.
 +
 +Using the Tivoli Storage Manager administrative tool dsmadmc, the [[object:volume|Volume]] data needs to be extracted from both the DRM and [[object:volume|Volume]] tables and exported into csv file format.
