Depends on your technical background. Tivoli has built better wizards into
the NT version, but us crusty Unix guys still have problems making a
Windows installation go. I know I have a lot more trouble configuring tape
libraries on 2000 than I do on AIX.

If I had a choice between unix and nt I would choose nt every time. It's
much easier to use and the much ballyhooed performance gained by using unix
is not that great.

The cost of an HP LXr8500 with the configuration descripted shouldn't be
much lower than a UNIX box with comparable performance.
For example and IBM P-Series 610 with PowerPC processors running at 450Mhz
would require 2 processor card to be comparable to
and 8-way HP intel machine.
So, please don't say that a UNIX box is MUCH more expensive.
What you have done is to maximize an intel machine. If you were to maximize
and UNIX box, it could probably handle as least 10 times the amount of
clients. And, then it would be much more expensive.
But that isn't what we're talking about.
We have a single processor machine running 180 servers, with about
500-600GB of incremental data each night.
This machine is half asleep when running backups. Thats the difference in
performance. Everybody knows, that if you put an intel machine against a
UNIX machine and compare I/O performance, the UNIX machine will outrun the
intel box without any problems.
And, almost all work that a TSM servers is doing, is related to I/O (disk
transactions, db transactions, migration and so on...).

I do on Win2K Box :
More than 650 Completed backup Win9x, NT, 2K Clients backup / days
More than 80 NT/ 20 Unix Completed Backup / days
10 Exchange Servers
Volume by day 100-300 GB
It works fine used less than 50% CPU at maximum.
Server : HP LXr8500 8x PIII 700 2MB, 4GB Ram, 24x18GB Ultra3 Raid 5 Disk,
1Gb/s NetCard.
Library : STKL700, 6xLTO Ultrium.
The main advantage of Win2K Platfom is the cost of the Hardware comparing
to
SUN or AIX box.

Hi,
from what i learned by myself and from couple of tsm users in our area, the
aix implementation is even more stable and scalable comparing to nt.
TSM itself on nt is as stable as nt itself,
if you are happy with nt you will likely be happy with tsm/nt as well. I am
just setting-up new nt/tsm box, mainly because our know-how in unix is
small.
But if my requirements were harder I would swap to aix and buy aix know-how
along with the product. For example, a neighbour company with x-terbytes of
backup data and ATM backbone could double their tcp-ip throughput by
swapping to aix, inspite of their perfect NT know how and weeks of tuning
and comparable HW used for both NT and AIX. But I do not need that, so I
stay with NT.
regards
Juraj

Subject: TSM Server on Windows - Does it work?
We are considering installing TSM server, and are being 'encouraged' to run
it on AIX but are a little cold to the idea. We have more experience
supporting Windows 2000.
Does anyone have any feedback on the stability or performance of TSM server
running on Windows?
Feel free to mail directly if you have any information that you willing to
share but are uncomfortable putting on the list.
Thanks
