Hi.......... What is the criteria that tells a person that a 2nd TSM instance is needed?? Our TSM consultant is saying we are close to needing a 2nd TSM instance since our DB has 23+ million pages. The DB backup runs about 35 minutes.
Our TSM System is as follows: AIX 5.3 ML7 SP1 TSM 5.3.4.2 IBM 9133-55A 4-WAY w/16GB of memory IBM 3584-L32/D32 w/14-LTO2 tape drives directly FC connected IBM FAStT700 with 1GB SAN using 3TB for DB, log and disk cache IT Management has authorized having a 8-way RISC w/64GB of memory, 2GB SAN system and replacing the LTO2 with LTO3 tape drives/LTO3 tapes. Doesn't a 2nd instance cause 2 operational schemes (on-site and off-site tapes) of two TSM systems??
