Hi,
 
This size was mentioned during a discussion with an IBM consultant. There is no 
tech note or something. If other users have other findings, they are welcome of 
course.

Hi,

A maximum 'optimal' size for a disk volume would be 100GB. And don't
forget to add 1 MB for the metadata that TSM writes in the disk volume.

regards,
Kurt

Hi all,

We're creating a diskpool for our Exchange-backups of about 1TB and was
wondering if an volume size of 10GB is correct or if we should be
looking at larger volumes.

Regards
