I have had the best luck with the AIX systems, they always work. I prefer using UNIX as a server because of the flexibility for scripting and control. Linux x86 is not a viable platform because of the kernel limitations for the device drivers package. AIX has the best device coverage of the UNIX platforms. I currently run an H50 with 4 processors, 3GB of RAM and 200GB of SSA disk. I really only use 2 processors and 800MB of RAM. I have an ADIC Scalar 1000 library with 390 slots and 8 IBM LTO1 drives attached by LVD SCSI to 3 6205 adapters in the H50. I have about 20TB of data online and another 20TB in my offsite My TSM database is 20GB with 75% util and my log is 6GB at 8% util. This system has been bullet proof.
-----Original Message----- From: Mark Cini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 1:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: New to TSM Hello all. We are in the process of ditching our current BackupExec/ArcServe setup in favor of a central TSM environment. We have decided to expand our existing 3494 tape library (additional frame w/ 2 3590 drives, SCSI) but haven't selected the hardware/operating system for the TSM server. These are our options: Dell 2600/Win2000 pSeries/AIX iSeries820/PASE Any recommendations for one system over another for the TSM server? The Win2000 option would be the cheapest but would it cause headaches down the road? thanks, Mark Cini Systems Administrator CorrFlex Display & Packaging This transmittal may contain confidential information intended solely for the addressee.
