Performance and Tuning documentation states it should not be more than 13
Volumes - not
too sure how you achieve that in the mainframe world where you have 2.835Gig
disks - (Mod3's).
Most shops don't really have access to mod9's, so then from a performance
guide point of view
you can not really go over 36.8 Gig database size - but on the mainframe TSM
starts performing
crap before you even reach that size in anycase.

Anyhow - 13 is the recommended number of DB vols.

> Before I upgrade our TSM server to v5.2 (seems to be taking forever to do
due to small outage windows) I want to reorganise our database volumes so
they are a little more efficient. Is there any recommended maximum number of
database volumes a TSM database should have? Ours is spread across about 20
different volumes of varying sizes, not the best makeup I am sure, hence why
I want to re-arrange it before hand.
