Expected size of Storage Pool

[hmeij]

Hi All, just looking for some general feedback on our recently purchased new TSM hardware.

If a vendor states "Drives to fill one disk shelf. Configured at RAID-6. 60TB usable capacity."

And the license is a "Capacity licensing for TSM software " containing
quantities=60 of "TSM Suite for Unified Recovery - 1TB back end capacity"

Would you not expect 'q stg' to show a storage pool of 60TB usable storage.

Storage Pool Name: OURFILES
Device Class Name: FILE
Storage Type: DEVCLASS
Estimated Capacity: 55,582 G

Capacity is based on actual data stored. Remember that there is overhead that TSM needs to manage the stored data. Overhead like control files, format overhead, etc.
