Help Please It's been awhile since I have setup a TSM server for Windows (Tivoli Storage Manager Enterprise Addition 5.4). I am trying to find out what the optimum number of volumes I should define for each primary disk storage pool.
I have a disk array that I broke into 3 Raid 5 groups; one group for Daily backups, one for SQL backups, and one for Archives. I also have a Raid 1 group defined for my DB backups and Log files. The Raid 5 groups consist of three 300GB SAS drives each. What size and how many volumes should I create for each Raid 5 group? For the DB and Log files I have a 270GB Raid 1 group. My database is currently around 40GB. What size should I make the DB and Log pools, and how many volumes should each have? Thanks so much Dean
