We are in the process of bringing up a Tivoli Storage Manager [TSM] server using zLinux [SLES11] under zVM [6.2]. We are going to use the IBM7650G with XIV back end storage to provide Virtual Tape. The idea is to backup intel servers directly to tape then replicate to remote DR site.
We have run into problems with memory allocations. We were using 2GB memory with 750MB of swap space in vdev. We started getting sql errors with the indication that it was a memory or swap space issue. I have increased the memory to 3GB and now the image will only allow us to run 11 TSM processes before getting errors. This will not be good for production. I will increase this to 4 GB memory with 2GB of swap space to see what happens. Does anyone have experience and/or recommendations as to the correct settings for memory allocations? Ruddy A.
