New TSM admin except for working with it awhile back perhaps 12+ years ago on the mainframe.
My question is how to best schedule nodes to maximize the backup window. We have 600+ nodes backing up and have MAXSCHedsessions set to 40 and MAXSessions to 150. Does it matter if you just schedule all nodes to start at the same time as opposed to dividing nodes among multiple schedules spread over the backup window. We have a single client schedule that starts at 8PM with a 12 hour duration. Is this the way most would have their client scheduling setup? i.e. just let them all go at once. Would dividing the clients up using multiple schedules perhaps work better?
Currently backups are running fine most nights but sometimes we have large numbers of nodes Missed and are having a dificult time determing the reason.
