Len,

I would open a requirement for the > 2 gig limit.  Also, where do you need
the limit to be?  4 gig ?  higher ?

The limits of the subfile cachesize have not changed.  Is 1024 MB not
sufficient ?  If not, what would you like to have?  Once again, if you
need work in this area please open a requirement.

If you do not code the cachesize in dsm.opt it takes the default value of
10 MB.

Thanks,
Jim

Hello Jim

We are a big user of the sub file feature and this explains some of our
long ru
nning backups.

Any chance that TSM Client Development will increase the 2gig limit.

Also in the early doc it said that the client subfile client cache size
had
a limit of 1024meg(SUBFILECACHESIZE).
Is this still the limit for SUBFILECACHESIZE? And is the SUBFILECACHESIZE
statement still required in the dsm.opt file?

Thanks len boyle
