FYI
      My preference is the p-series for AIX it does more work and very
flexible for TSM,
I would use the p 570 and use LPARS for the TSM Library Manger if I had the
choice of machine to deploy for TSM.
As I am running currently in our TSM server farm of 3 P-series machines (p
630, 6H1, and an older M80) all AIX 5.300-03.
Great TSM servers,but other have decided that it is time to deploy another
venders machine to save on cost.
We are backing up 4.5 to 5 TB each night with about 100 RMAN for Oracle
backups using TDPO.

Allow me to spin the question ever so slightly:

PC Server Hardware (like Dells) --OR-- IBM p-Series Hardware?

We are in the planning phases of a TSM rollout and our consultant is
pushing us towards the p-Series line (somewhere in the neighborhood of a
550). We are deploying in a pretty large environment, so it sounds
justifiable. I suppose I am looking for a "second opinion" of sorts,
just to make sure we're getting the best bang for our buck.

Thanks!
Corey

Subject: [ADSM-L] Dell Server for TSM Server ?

Since we have to test the Dell server with Linux OS for TSM server, I
have
listed questions.

What size of the Dell server's are folks deploying 6850 or 2850 ?
How many CPU ?
How much Memory ?

Thanks
