E-Trade apparently have sent some details in the post which I've not yet received. I am to read, sign and send back. Guess it's standard practice to ensure I'm aware of the risks and they can confirm my address. Today is the day that Halifax should be putting £200 into my 'fund' so I can invest in shares. This has not happened as of yet, I'll keep an eye on it and chase them tomorrow if nothing changes.

Looking at TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) for a moment, yesterday I had to perform an archive retrieve. Data had been written to tape and checked out some time ago. Initially I kicked off the retrieve as was asked to mount a tape. The retrieve began and I continued with other daily tasks. On my return I found the retrieve had failed as a mount request for another tape had timed out. Before I kicked off the retrieve again I ran "q nodedata NODENAME stgp=STGPOOLNAME" and was given a list of all required tapes, once checked in the retrieve was a success.

Cheers
