Pretty good sized, Alex. What is your TSM server HW?

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.

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*?
