Hi All The TSM Documentation is, compared to much I have seen, wonderful. It covers system functions and facilities marvellously, but what it doesn't do well is spell out best practices from the numerous options available.
I am installing TSM 6.3 on windows. Long term readers will recall my travails with NDMP and linux. The solution is to locate the widows client on this new server box and back up using a proxy node thta resides on the server. On Linux, AIX the layout is simple, one volume for DB another for active log, a third for archive log. Windows does not in general work this way. Looking at the DB2 doc for windows it seems that the DB is allocated as a number of files of a given size, but the examples place the archive log in its own windows drive letter, without explicitly stating why. Does anyone have experience of how to layout the TSM 6 database on Windows that they would be willing to share? RTFM is a valid response if you tell me which manual to read. I've already tried the obvious without finding what I'm looking for, but may have overlooked some clue. Thanks Steve Steven Harris TSM Admin Canberra Australia.
