Not 100% sure about running on AIX, but we run 17 TSM servers on OS390 and have 
some running 30 DB vols at 2.4 GB per vol, we have no degradation from it.  We 
have been running this way from all v 4.1 up to v 5.1.6.

Subject: Maximum number of DB volumes


We have TSM version 4.2.1.15 (moving soon to a 5... level) running on AIX
4.3.3.  Another TSM manager told me that there should be a maximum of 16 DB
volumes.  They said that there could be more but that they had heard that
there is system degradation if one was to use more that 16 DB volumes.  Has
anyone else heard of this.  It was new to me and I was just wondering what
the situation was.


Thanks
