There is a redbook that discusses TSM implementation issues, "Getting
Started with Tivoli Storage Manager: Implementation Guide". The publication
number is SG24-5416-01. This book includes information on sizing your TSM
database.

You can find the book in HTML or PDF format at www.redbooks.ibm.com. Once
you get there, just put "SG24-5416-01" (without the quotes) in the
"Redbooks Search" box, and click "Go". It should locate the book for you.

Regards,

Subject:  AW: What is size of ADSM database and log?



Hi Zosi
It's quiet simple(or not?).
Each File 1K in the DB (don't forget how many generations!).
The Log about 10% of the DB Size, i drive a larger recovery log, near 30%,
performance & overflow!

Example:

100 Files=                            100K
10% of the Files change         10K
5 Generation in the mngmntclss40K
+ 10-30% etc

In your Case with the archive to, it will be a nice DB!

Ciao

with  kind regards

Joachim

Post Scriptum: You never can realy count how many of the files will be
changed!
The Unix files may take a lot of Log in the archive mode!
