The upgrade section may help, see the following link pay particular
attention to the "Space requirements for the V6 server system" section.
On my win systems (2008x64) I used 3-4 volumes (located on separate SAN
luns) for the DB, and separate volumes/luns for each the Active log,
Archive, log, log mirror, and Fail-over log.
Obviously, the better the faster the disks, the better the server will
perform.
Originally I was forced to set them up on an EMC Clariion but
performance was dismal to say the least. After convincing the
powers-to-be that disk performance was a problem they approved a move to
an EMC Vmax, the difference was phenomenal.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Disk/Volume/mountpoint access for TSM 6.3 on Windows
Hi All
The TSM Documentation is, compared to much I have seen, wonderful. It
covers system functions and facilities marvellously, but what it doesn't
do
well is spell out best practices from the numerous options available.
I am installing TSM 6.3 on windows. Long term readers will recall my
travails with NDMP and linux. The solution is to locate the widows
client
on this new server box and back up using a proxy node thta resides on
the
server.
On Linux, AIX the layout is simple, one volume for DB another for active
log, a third for archive log. Windows does not in general work this
way.
Looking at the DB2 doc for windows it seems that the DB is allocated as
a
number of files of a given size, but the examples place the archive log
in
its own windows drive letter, without explicitly stating why.
Does anyone have experience of how to layout the TSM 6 database on
Windows
that they would be willing to share? RTFM is a valid response if you
tell
me which manual to read. I've already tried the obvious without finding
what I'm looking for, but may have overlooked some clue.
Thanks
