We have one netstor server (3466, H50 RS/6K) that supports over 1500 desktops and servers - around 300GB a day in incrementals over 4 100Mbps ethernet cards all on the same subnet to large diskpools (several trays of SSA) and then into a 3494 tape library dedicated to this TSM server. The DB is 75GB and at 88% capacity.
Yes, there are performance issues (sometimes very severe), but all the issues deal with the TSM DB/log performance. Don't get me on that soap-box... -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Wichmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 5:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: number of clients poll I'm curious how big some of the TSM servers are out there in terms of how many clients your TSM server services (backs up) daily and what kind of network configuration you're using (gigE, etherchannel, etc). e.g I've seen many environments with 100-150 clients going across 100Mbps or etherchannel configurations. But in the TSM world how big is *BIG*? Gerald Wichmann Sr. Systems Development Engineer Zantaz, Inc. 925.598.3099 w 408.836.9062 c
