Hello all,

Our data storage requirements have been driving our TSM database usage to
new heights, and we are looking for some references to "just how big is too
big" in order to help build a business case for deploying additional servers.

Our current TSM database is 86.5GB and although backup and restore
operations are running fine, database management tasks are becoming
painfully long.  I personally think this database size is "too big".  What
are your thoughts?
How many sites are running with databases this large or larger? On what
hardware?

IBM/Tivoli's maxiumum size recommendations seem to grow each year with the
introduction of more powerful hardware platforms, but issues such as single
threaded db backup and restore continue to pose problems to unlimited growth.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott.
