Have you consider TSM on Linux on Intel? I just assisted a university change from AIX with 3590 to Linux (cant remember the IBM model of server) with 4560 (2 x 4560/LTO1 with 4 drives).
This Uni is probably smaller than you guys - but non the less they are quite happy with the change... ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 05/12/2003 09:51:41 AM: > We are now running TSM 4.2 on an AIX box.
