I am running 200 clients to an ADSM-MVS server.  It amounts to about
140 GB backed up and about 7 GB per night.  The database is 2 GB.
Our clients communicate via LU6.2 since the ADSM mainframe does not
have TCP/IP on it. We have another mainframe that does have TCP/IP
on it, but no ADSM.  We are getting ready to start backing up Windows
95 clients (which require TCP/IP) and MANY more file servers.  So I
will probably either put TCP/IP on the ADSM mainframe, or move ADSM
to the other mainframe.  WHAT I WAS WONDERING:  Perhaps I should have
ADSM on both mainframes, and have 2 ADSM servers.  Does anyone have
any guidelines as to what point it makes sense to have 2 ADSM servers?
For ex., how many nodes, what size of database?  Both mainframes are
ES9000 9X2 models.  We don't need 2 now, but I wonder at what point
we will.  Having 2 ADSM servers would save me either paying for TCP/IP
one the ADSM machine or transferring the existing 200 clients to the
other mainframe.  Any suggestions?
