Thanks - we're going to upgrade the RAM to 16gb.  But it sounds like I
don't need to worry about upgrading the processors.

I didn't realize that it was going to require Websphere.  Is this part
of the Tivoli installation, or will I have to purchase that component
separately?

4G is unlikely to work well.
You are installing a copy of DB2 (for the TSM server) and a copy of
Websphere (for the admin center) under the covers.

If you are planning a small installation and don't have any very strict
timing windows to meet (and they haven't put in any size checks in the
6.2 install package that prevent you from installing it), you can
probably get it to work OK by installing the admin center and reporting
component on a different machine (those pieces can even be on a VM).

By "small", I'd say 50 clients or less, 500G per day or less --and those
numbers are pretty arbitrary on my part.
I'm just basing it on the fact I got the admin center and TSM @6.1 to
install on my 4G laptop.

But, RAM is needed for I/O buffers as well.
TSM is not CPU intensive, nor is the server itself very memory
intensive.  It's all about I/O.
YMMV

We're about to set up TSM for the first time.  I was surprised to see in
the installation guide that 12gb of RAM is required for 6.2  The server
that we were planning on using only has 4gb - it's an IBM 7026-6H1 -
with a 2-way 1.2ghz power4+ processor.  I don't see anything in the
installation guide that mentions requirements for processor power.  Does
anyone know if this server will be sufficient?
