Does anybody have any experience of configuring the following windows
boot.ini parameters in conjunction with TSM server;

/PAE /3GB

With regards to being able to allocate >2GB to the TSM database
bufferpool with Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition (32 bit)

I have a Windows 2003 EE (32-bit) server with 8GB of RAM. Have applied
the /PAE and /3GB switches to the boot.ini, but the TSM server will not
start with >2GB.

>From the reading I have done, it appears that for non-MS apps to take
advantage of these switches, they must be LARGEADDRESSAWARE. Does
anybody know if the 32-bit TSM server for Windows is Large Address
Aware.

I know that a solution would be to go to a native 64-bit MS OS or non-MS
64-bit OS, however, there are some management issues preventing this at
the moment.
Thanks

Leigh
