Greetings fellow TSM'ers,
I have a general performance question:
How many TSM Clients are too many to have on one TSM Server? Currently, I have 160 NT/2000 Clients connecting to 1 TSM Server on MVS. Or are clients not the delimiter? I have also heard from variuos people that the determining factor for too much for one server is the TSM Database size. I have heard that once the database becomes larger that 20 GB, the TSM Server starts to be "problematic." My database is at 36 GB! I have also heard vague statements like: "You only need another TSM Server if you're not completing your backups in your window, or if your restores are taking too long." But these statments really don't help, and I am having restore issues! I have been preaching to management for years about getting another TSM Server, but it keeps falling on deaf ears!
Any suggestions are appreciated.
