((( If I'm in the wrong forum, mods, please feel free to move the thread. I didn't see a better place to put this one )))
Good morning, I'm currently running TSM 7.1 in CentOS 6.7 on one half of a Supermicro SuperServer 6016TT. It's a Dual Xeon box with 24GB of RAM, a 4gb FC card, booting from a 32GB SSD and using a 4TB SSHD for TSM diskpool with a 2x48 LTO4 4GB/FC library behind it directly connected to the FC card.
It all works fine but I'm having serious contention getting data out the tapes fast enough. No surprise there, that 4TB SSHD is not the fastest drive in the world. I'm not necessarily looking to grow the disk pool, just resolve the contention issues.
I'm wanting to know if I would be better off replacing the 4TB SSHD with a 1TB SSD directly. Or, if I should be looking at a FC switch and FC SAN with an array of disks to use for my diskpool. Which is going to do a better job at overcoming this problem?
Thanks,
