Is there or what is the practical limit on the number of disk pool volumes and the total size of a disk pool? I am running 5.2.2.4 on AIX 5.1. Andy Huebner This e-mail (including any attachments) is
One thing to keep in mind: If you ever have to restore your TSM database from backup, you will need to audit all of your [random access] disk storage pool volumes. The more you have, the longer this

Maybe I should have pointed out that this is not a theoretical question. Are 1800 volumes too many? We have been experiencing TCP connection failures since reaching this number. The reason for the la

I have found that keeping one volume per RAID (lun, perhaps, in your environment?) per stgpool helps me avoid hotspots and spread work evenly. When I finetune it's by changing volume sizes. But I'm

The only errors are TCP/IP connection failures or refusals on the client and the server. The command line admin client is also unable to connect so running a trace is tough. We have eliminated the ne

OK, last post from me on this subject to give the solution. The problem was some resource shortage, most likely a thread limitation, software or hardware. Once we reduced our storage pool volume coun
