Since we have to test the Dell server with Linux OS for TSM server, I have listed questions. What size of the Dell server's are folks deploying 6850 or 2850 ? How many CPU ? How much Memory ? Thanks

Justin, I don't think the model is the issue. The issue is, is the machine suitable for your needs. For Intel based systems I would go for the following: Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz or better (or equal AMD).

I have a 2850 running 5.3.3 with 2 Qlogic HBA to a small EMC raid and a midrange ADIC tape lib. (4GB mem, 2 Xeon, running in 64bit mode) so far it's working fine since our environment is pretty small

Allow me to spin the question ever so slightly: PC Server Hardware (like Dells) --OR-- IBM p-Series Hardware? We are in the planning phases of a TSM rollout and our consultant is pushing us towards t
FYI My preference is the p-series for AIX it does more work and very flexible for TSM, I would use the p 570 and use LPARS for the TSM Library Manger if I had the choice of machine to deploy for TSM.

Corey, IMHO I would certainly go for the pSeries. It's much more flexible and powerfull than the Intel based boxes. If you must go for the Intel box, I would choose Linux (RedHat or SuSe) as the OS.

When I pushed for the pseries, the boss called it a "premium platform", we went with the 9113-550 the difference between a three year old "premium platform" and a new one seems to justify ... IBM all

I inherited a TSM environment all running on Windows. So I was stuck with the OS. I have deployed multiple HP ML570 servers, twin xeon, 3GB memory. Big PCIe buses at the back end. Have 7 LTO2 and 7 L
