Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone is running TSM V6.1.3.1 on an IBM server similar to a 
p5 p570?  I definitely need more memory for V6, since I only have 8GB and the 
documentation says the minimum memory for all but the tiniest server should be 
12 GB, 16 GB if using deduplication.  I'm considering installing about 32 - 40 
GB total memory.

We back up about 5 TB per night and have 207 client nodes, one server instance.

I'd like to know about any real-world experiences with similar configurations 
and how much memory your server(s) have and is it adequate?  Also, our p5 p570 
has two two-way 1.9 GHz processor cards.  Do you have an opinion on whether I 
should add to or upgrade controller cards while I'm at it?

Thanks!
