Hi all,
We have around 10TB of disk space available for our new TSM 6.2.x server. I would like to know the best practice on how to assign that disk space.
A feature that is interesting is the data deduplication. I know that, for this, we need to have a device class of type file. I would like to know the best setting for such device class. In the past, we were only using DISK device class for our disk pools.
Is there any performance using FILE device class versus DISK? When we are creating a device class of type FILE, the "Device Access Strategy" is "Sequential". Is that faster than DISK device class which is "Random"?
In short words, you have 10TB of space disk for TSM, how would you like to use it?
Thanks you very much for your help.
Best Regards,
Yanick
