Ben,

It's highly recommended that (on Solaris) you use raw volumes for the TSM
file systems (ie, db & log)... due to severe performance penalties. Other
than that, all should be okay.  There are other rules of thumb to consider,
especially on Sun boxes, regarding how much CPU power to support multiple
NIC's of varying speeds and bandwidth, as well as number of SCSI
drives/ports, etc. (search the archive for recent info about sizing the
server).
