Hi all, I am currently in the process of setting up specifications for our new TSM6.2 server.
I started by adding 8 x SSD 50GB disks to hold OS and DB, but because of the high costs was wondering if it's possible to rather buy more RAM and increase the DB2 cache to speed up the database. Currently I have RAM set at 24GB but its way cheaper doubling the RAM than to buy 8 x SSD's Currently I have 8 x SSD vs 6 x SAS 15K Any ideas?

I've been through the tuning guide, but I'm looking for monitoring CPU/Memory, HBA usage, disk/tape performance, etc. I'm wondering what are the favorite tools on this list. From what I can gather nmon doesn't collect tape drive data, which is one of my major interests. I need to collect historical data for long term trends. Does anyone know if you can keep topas output in single, periodic snapshots like nmon?
