Hello All

I have now in my TSM environment  few storages with  deduplication ON. The 
deduplication is  done on the server side by identity and reclamation process/

In my organization we have lot of data types as word, excel, PowerPoint ,text 
file , pst  etc etc …. Also audio , video …

Lot of TDP’s as for Sap , Oracle , Sql , Exchange , VE and lots of O.S as AIX , 
Linux, Windows , Mac.

The default in dsmserv.opt is for those parameters:


Þ    Deduptier2Filesize      100

Þ    Deduptier3Filesize      400
I got suggestion to change it to:


Þ    Deduptier2Filesize      200

Þ    Deduptier3Filesize      1000
I wonder if anybody have experience with dedup and those parameters ?

Any other suggestion will be welcome.

Best Regards

Robert Ouzen
