Hi Robert, the maxsize of a deviceclass file volume depends on what you are planning to use it for.
In my opinion - I verfied this at several customer environments - for file server data (i.g. office documents) a size of 50G is ok. If the filesystem is very active, that means a lot of files were changed, moved, deleted, and created, smaller volumes will be more effficient. If you are planning to use deduplication on the filepool(s), use small volumes (i.e. 10GB) for best results. For large database backups a single volume size of 100GB or more is perfect, depending of the average size of the databases. In most cases, we use more than one devclass of type file. best regards Ullrich Mänz Data Center Services FRITZ & MACZIOL Software und Computervertrieb GmbH Ludwig Str. 180D, 63067 Offenbach, Germany Mobil +49 170 7678 434 Fax: +49 69 3801 3500 10 Web: http://www.fum.de Amtsgericht Ulm, Handelsregister-Nummer: HRB 1936 Geschäftsführer: Heribert Fritz, Frank Haines Inhaber: Imtech N.V., Gouda, Niederlande Von: Robert Ouzen <[email protected]> An: [email protected], Datum: 01.11.2012 10:12 Betreff: [ADSM-L] devclass definition Gesendet von: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> Hi to all I am in stage of implanting a new Tsm server V6.3.2.200 on a Windows 2008 R2 64B Enterprise connected to a Data Domain DE duplication. I am wondering about the maxcapacity on the devclass of device type file configuration for a storage pool . Thinking between 50G or 100G ? The impact of the capacity on the reclaim process ? def devc fileclass01 library=filelib01 devtype=file mountl=40 maxcap=50G or 100G directory=\\................... Regards Robert
