Hi Bill,

It's going to depend a lot on your network speed, some on the type of disk you 
are using for your databases, and maybe a little on the CPU speeds of your 
servers.

We have not yet migrated any of our production TSM instances, but we have been 
doing some dry-run performance tests.  On one instance having a 680GB database, 
we ran three tests, as follows:

Test 1:
 source (AIX) database on 15K
 target (Linux) database on SSD
 source server having 10Gbs ethernet
 target server having 1Gbs ethernet
 Elapsed time was 15 hours, 45 minutes

Test 2:
 source database on SSD
 target database on SSD
 source server having 10Gbs
 target server having 1Gbs
 Elapsed time was 12 hours, 32 minutes  - SSD helped some

Test 3:
 source and target databases both on SSD
 source and target servers both having 10Gbs
 Elapsed time was 6 hours, 20 minutes - quite a bit better due to the 10Gbs 
ethernet

Statistics & dry-runs were done by David Beardsley, here at Cornell.
