Hi Richard,

It is the first time that I do a disk assignment for TSM.

As you said, I have review the documentation there are really good advices, but 
it did not say anything about volumes sizes... For example use 10 physical 
disk, on each of them create a 10 GB partition for the database... To have 100 
GB...

So I do not know what volume size(partition to Spread DB, LOG, STGPOOL) will be 
suitable for DB, LOG, and STGPOOL.

What volume size will be suitable for a TSM 5.3 installation ¿?

Thanks in advance !!

Redbooks Technote TIPS0301 "IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Using Multiple Disk 
Volumes for the Database and the Recovery Log Files" addresses this, as does 
the "TSM Performance Tuning Guide".  RAID 1+0 is excellent for the database.

You can find logs of good information via simple search terms at the TSM 
Support Page, http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/
support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html .
