We're running a 50GB db, 75% used. Network config for the TSM server consists of GbE, ATM, and SP Switch. We're about to retire the ATM. 240 nodes, all servers, back up on average 1.2TB/night. Two nights/week we do full backups of a 800GB DB2 database. Weekends we do full BUTA backups of our 2TB DCE/DFS environment. Total occupancy of the TSM server is 120TB. Everything goes offsite. Tape hardware is a STK 9310 with 20 Fibre 9840 tape drives. The silo also serves a small TSM server currently living on an F50 servicing a Datalinks pilot implementation. We have 7 remote sites with TSM, but they're much smaller.
I'm starting to consider either putting the DB on ESS or running a second instance because sometimes I'm maxing out the SCSI disks/adapters that the DB currently lives on.

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
