We are considering creating an extremely large TSM disk storage pool (IE:
1-10TB). The goal being to eliminate going to tape. Does anyone have any
really BIG disk pools? Are there tools available for managing large TSM disk
pools over time. (IE: Reclamation, Aging Data, etc) The documentation from
Tivoli suggests that we need to set it up as a device type=FILE. What are
the drawbacks using this approach? Is performance dramatically impacted?
etc...

Thanks in advance,
