Our TSM server (V3.7.3) is running on AIX 4.3.3. 2 CPU at 200 MHz, 2 GB of RAM We have over 250 GB of data backed up to our server on a daily basis and the CPU is always maxed out, at or near 100%. We are currently considering buying a new, more powerful node, but I was thinking that maybe upgrading the current one is more cost-effective. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
