The only weight loss program for the TSM DB, other than getting rid of
unneeded stuff, is expiration. Make sure it is started daily, and let it
run a long time. I start it as soon as DB backup ends, and then cancel
it with CANCEL EXPIRATION just before the next DB backup is started.

for the newer 1/2 tapes (LTO included), cleaning frequency is pretty

We have 36 drives, and they clean about once every year or two.

I've never heard of a 100million file limitation to TSM.
The limits are 13.5GB for the log and 512GB for the TSM DB.

From the front panel, or from the web gui of the library, you should be

Directories are owned by the nodes they belong to.
So, if you're using a DIRMC pool with long retention,
and you implement collocation or colloc groups,
then the directories will be collocated the same as files.

IMHO I would certainly go for the pSeries. It's much more flexible and

If you must go for the Intel box, I would choose Linux (RedHat or SuSe) as the

In the normal course of events, you should not need to change the status

I'm considering a database backup strategy something like this:

Hi Jim,
Why not buy a cheap NAS box on 250GB and keep that NAS Device always mounted in

So even if the RAID breaks down you still have an on-site backup of your DB for

But you still need to bring back the offsite tapes for all user
If you are able to afford to lose up to a weeks worth of data this seems
like a reasonable approach. Since you are only sending your copypools
tapes off once a week, if you lose your primary pool you will only be
able to restore up to the most recent Friday.
