A decision has been made to discontinue ADSM on our VM system, and look into
putting it up on an RS/6000 instead. Now, I'm tasked with finding out how
large a system we need to do this.
We're looking at backups for 500 to 1000 systems nightly (incrementals) with
an average managed disk space of 500Mb per system. My questions are:
How much CPU do we need?
How much network bandwidth will be needed on the RS/6K? Ethernet? FDDI?
How much disk space should we have on the server?
What kind of tape support is good for this? Are Exabytes reliable and fast
enough?
I really appreciate any help y'all can give us...getting a machine that's too
small is the end of ADSM here, and asking for one that's too large is the
same.
