It all depends on your resources, mainly memory and I/O.  Beefier servers
can handle more.   One thing to check though, I did read somewhere (maybe
here) that IBM recommends to NOT run multiple TSM 6x instances within the
same machine (or LPAR since you have a pSeries)
You might want to verify with IBM that you are running a supported
configuration.

[ADSM-L] Multiple instances on the same server






Does anyone know what the maximum is for multiple instances on the same
physical server?

We have 5 TSM (6.1.2.3.2)  instances running on one p560 (AIX 6.1.2.0)
one of which is our library manager.


Thank you,     Bob Molerio
