Good morning,

 

I’m looking for good hardware specs for a new TSM server (SLES 10 or 11 on 
x86_64). I’m thinking about:

 

2 quad core CPU’s

32 GB RAM (two TSM instances might be active)

2 RAID controllers: one for the database (RAID 1) and one for the db2 log files 
(RAID 1)

RAID 5 disk storage pool

Two dual port FC HBA towards the ACSLS library

 

There is no SAN available for the db2 database & log files, that’s why a RAID1 
is chosen with a separate controller. Would RAID5 also be an option instead of 
RAID1 for housing the db and log files?

 

Best regards,

Kurt
