Does any one out there have a formula they use to calculate the number of tapes they will use for an instance of TSM I've tried to start with 1) size of file systems to backup x 1 because you have at

James... this is thorny issue considering the cost of these tapes. I use Magstar MP C-Format XL tapes and these guys cost about $75 a pop. Be conservative when ordering and get more than you think yo

George, Richard, Thanks for the responses. But I have 7 instances of TSM running, all implemented last year. A consulting team calculated how much capacity we would need and proposed it to management

I think most *SM sites consume more tapes than they thought. I think the formula you want is the one they use to calculate how long a Software project will take to complete!!! David B. Longo System A

James, Thanks for that... it made me feel a lot better about my own situation ;-) Hopefully the end users will be able to bend some with regard to their potential restore requirements. If you have be

I think the reason most people underestimate tape requirements is, they assume that if you have 20 GB of data to back up, you need 20GB of tape to store it. With TSM (unlike the backup systems that j

Take a look at the redbook Getting Started with Tivoli Storage Manager: Implementation Guide. It tells you how to calculate the number of tapes.

I'll agree. When I built this backup solution about 9 months ago, I had the benefit of extensive analysis from their Arcserve system of the number of files, the total data, and the change per day to

I would add to this an amount of tapes for 'cycling' We do not recall the offsite tapes that have "just' been reclaimed but put it off for another week so that the tapes they are replacing are alread

And further more ..... I factor in the need for 15 scratch tapes at all times for onsite reclamation during the weekday and offsite reclamation on weekends. For me that's about 10% of 1 frame (220) s

I agree. Here is a query that will do it for you: select stgpool_name as stgpool, cast(mean(est_capacity_MB/1024) as decimal(5,2)) as gb_per_FULL_vol from volumes where status='FULL' group by stgpool

That's a great beginning to figuring out how many tapes you will need. If your backup/archive schedules have not changed for a month... suggest doing: q actl begindate=-30 search=ANR1214 Take the amo

Ok *SMers... see if this holds water. In order to calculate your tape requirement. A given is that you do not add or delete a bunch of schedules during the previous month: 1. q actl begindate=-30 sea
