currently running TSM 5.5, windows 2003, 8gig ram, aprox. 800 gig hard drive. 3583 LTO2 library. boss would like to upgrade to TSM 6.1, replace tape library with VTL, and dedupe.
We currently backup 50 nodes per night, with total avg. around 300gig a night. He asked me if we would need to set up another TSM instance(?) to handle the dedupe processing or if the one server can handle it all. I'm not sure. I haven't seen it discussed here. boss wants to go with VTL because of the DR capabilities.
I guess I'm wanting to know what my options are.
thanks for any advice or links.
