Maximum database volumes?

Before I upgrade our TSM server to v5.2 (seems to be taking forever to do due to small outage windows) I want to reorganise our database volumes so they are a little more efficient. Is there any recommended maximum number of database volumes a TSM database should have? Ours is spread across

Performance and Tuning documentation states it should not be more than 13 Volumes - not too sure how you achieve that in the mainframe world where you have 2.835Gig disks - (Mod3's). Most shops don't really have access to mod9's, so then from a performance guide point of view you can not really go

Well, I have a 35 gbTSM database on Mod 9s, two volumes per physical device and I have not noticed any worse performance since moving from mod 3s. I would have preferred to have one logical volume per physical device but TSM does not currently support extended vsam (over 4gb) If/when TSM does

John, I had an LPAR dedicated to TSM - (200Mips) on a z/900. This LPAR did NOTHING but TSM. When your database starts going over 40Gig you WILL NOT compete with even a Win2K server in terms of throughput. How many concurrent TSM sessions does your TSM server handle currently? How much data can

I have not had a chance to test this yet but if your script is getting a return code of 4 then it would seem that the event will also now get a return code of 4 when a scheduled backup skips files that were excluded. If that is true then that is insane. A nice feature of the TSM Operational

The only thing that goes everywhere TSM goes, is ... TSM. A problem with attempting to leverage TSM to store away a copy of the schedlogs is that many of the modes of client failure break this mechanism. In the case when you most need a log to look at, one isn't available. (except the copy that

I like your email address Mr. TSM_User. I had not necessarily thought of it, but you are correct. All incremental backups for 4.2.3 client systems now show a return code of 4 in the Event log. This does make it much more difficult to extrapolate which systems need their inclexcl files adjusted.
