we have

H80 120 nodes
30 gbyte database
300 gbyte per night
SSA disks for stotage
100 gbyte storage pool
2 cpu's 2 gbyte ram
2 100 Mbit ethernet adapters
6 3590 drives in a 3494 lib

---------------------------
I think the p630 is an excellent option for a TSM server.

Subject: TSM on AIX.


Hello everyone,

 I was wondering if you would be willing to share some information with me.
We are looking at the possibility of moving our TSM server running on
OS/390 2.10 to AIX. We have a TSM server 4.2.1.9 backing up 200 clients and
nightly and about 220GB of data, data base is 37.5GB at 50% utilization.
What I am looking for is real numbers for AIX.

     RS/6000 model
     AIX version
     TSM version
     # of clients
     amount of data
     DB size.

 There have been all kinds of different recommendations as to how this box
should be configured from using SP nodes to a P-690 so I am looking for
some real world working TSM environment numbers.

 Any information can be sent to me directly at the e-mail address listed
below.

 Thanks,
    Brian
