Mark,

There is a little equation I use to figure out what the difference between
reality and what TSM thinks..

Try this:   DB Assigned Capacity - ( DB Assigned Capacity ) * DB Pct Util )

Remember your calculating MB(s)

Hope this helps, works for me~

Mark,

I've just unloaded/loaded our TSM 4.1.5 database to fix performance
problems.  Our 18GB database shrank to 11GB and a 'query archive' that used
to run for over an hour now takes 10 seconds.  It took 4 hours to dump (to
a
fileclass volume) and 2 hours to load on an RS/6000 6M1 but it was mostly
I/O so I don't think the speed of the machine helped all that much.

I did have a failure running it on 4.1.2 server as it locked up when
changing from one file volume to another.  I updated to 4.1.5 and made the
fileclass max volume size 20GB.  The unload then ran fine to the one file
volume.
