harold, just for reference, we have > 1000 nodes on some servers - these are v5 servers migrated to v6 and *not* consolidated. However, the average occupancy and number of objects for each node is probably much smaller than many other sites - we are an academic site with lots of smaller clients (research, admin, learning materials, etc) with a very limited number of versions and retention period. Wanda is correct - the real limitations are size of DB ( related to the number of objects stored ) and I/O. Memory, cpu and fast disks will all have a bearing on what you can achieve - there are published IBM recommendations on memory (and CPU ?) - search under 'server requirements'.

But I got everything from 300 nodes up to approx. 500 nodes and every TSM Server are running on Wintel. Best Regards Christian Svensson Cell: +46-70-325 1577 E-mail: [email protected] Säkra återläsningar. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Vandeventer, Harold [BS] [mailto:[email protected]] Skickat: den 8 oktober 2012 22:01 Till: [email protected] Ämne: Nodes per TSM server There are all kinds of measures involved in setting up a TSM server; processor, RAM, disk I/O, stg pool design, reclamation, migration, all the bits and pieces. But, I'm curious about how many nodes some of you have on your TSM servers? I'm in a Windows environment, and have been tasked with "consolidating". Also, about how much memory is on those systems. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------ Harold Vandeventer Systems Programmer State of Kansas - Office of Information Technology Services [email protected] (785) 296-0631 [Confidentiality notice:] *********************************************************************** This e-mail message, including attachments, if any, is intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential or privileged information.
