We are putting up a "big honkin Dell server" for a new TSM server. This
box has 8=1TB internal drives.

There has been an argument going on about how to properly partition this
space, for the LZ.

We use GPT since standard tools don't like >2TB filesystems.

If we create a 6TB LZ with GPT, will TSM have a problem formatting volumes
in this space?

What is the max size of a disk storage pool volume, anyway?  I have been
scouring the Admin Guide/Reference and still haven't seen a fixed max
value.  I did Google and found an IBM document that says a lot of this
info is undocumented.

BTW, Neither I nor my co-worker are receiving most mailings from this
list. Every day or two, some trickle through.  Can someone tell me who to
contact at Marist to see what is going on?
