TSM and storage pools

Hello everyone,

We are moving from TSM 4.2.1.9 on OS/390 to TSM 5.2 on AIX 5.2 and I have
the opportunity to recreate all of my Policy Domains, storage pools,
management classes and copy groups. I was wondering if anyone would like to
share opinions with regards to structure. What I mean is one large disk
pool for primary or breaking up the pool into several smaller pools. I am
looking for performance issues as well as maintenance issues. We are
backing up about 240 clients nightly from several different platforms
including AIX, NETWARE, NT, OS/2, WINDOWS 2000 and Sun Solaris systems
moving about 200GB of data nightly.

 Any information / ideas that anyone wishes to provide would be
appreciated. If you'd like you can contact me at my e-mail address below or
via the phone number also listed below.

 Thanks,
    Brian
