hi Ann,

the computing of estimated size of a DB is real simple:
ADSM needs approx 600 byte for each object; for each object in copy
storagepools approx 200 bytes.
you should make an inventory of objects on your boxes.
the 1/10 rule is not valid fro database systems for example, this boxes
causes a real smaller
DB on ADSM then fileservers.

regards
tibor magda
