What I just did on our new server:

/tsm/inst<x>/      for start/stopscripts, dsmserv.opt and dsmserv.dsk


/tsm/db<n>a/      for one mirror of the dbvols (n=1 to 8)
/tsm/db<n>b/      for the other side of the mirror
/tsm/data<m>/     where m is 01 to 16 for diskstoragepools
/tsm/log<x>{a|b}/ for the logvolumes, x matches the x in /tsm/inst<x>/
                  a and b are each one side of the mirror

-- each of these is a separate disk, as you may have guessed by now, we
   use TSM mirroring for db and logvolumes.

/tsm/scripts      for a load of serverscripts, macro's, monitoringscripts
                  and what more

/var/tsm/server   for some extra stuf like an extra copy of the volhist
                  and the devconf

The most important thing is that _you_ know what does what, and what goes where

an alternative set-up I have on a smaller test environment goes like

/tsm/inst<x>              as a root for a TSM server instance
/tsm/inst<x>/etc/         for start/stop scripts, devconf and volhist backups,
                          dsmserv.opt and dsmserv.dsk
/tsm/inst<x>/db<n>{a|b}/  for databasevolumes
/tsm/inst<x>/log{a|b}/    for logvolumes

/tsm/data<m>/             for storagepools
