We are looking to phase-out our 2-AIX TSM servers and replace them with Linux/Dell boxes (state contract - don't have a choice on the hardware).
They have asked me to come up with some prefered specs for the hardware. So, I am looking to see what other folks have configured, on this kind of platform. Some questions. Does dual-core CPU's help, much ? Does TSM on Linux utilize them ? I realize that TSM is mostly I/O bound, so having fast, internal disk is more important.
