Given that TSM is licenced by client and not by server is there really
any need to consolidate?  You won't be running as many boxes but in the
greater scheme of things that won't make a lot of difference.

Sure when you replace your hardware you can consolidate. Use Butterfly
to do the consolidation or roll your own, but until then run what you have.

There are all kinds of measures involved in setting up a TSM server; processor, 
RAM, disk I/O, stg pool design, reclamation, migration, all the bits and pieces.

But, I'm curious about how many nodes some of you have on your TSM servers?

I'm in a Windows environment, and have been tasked with "consolidating".

Also, about how much memory is on those systems.

Thanks.
