you mean too long check disk process on TSM server?

The duration of chkdsk strongly depends on amount 
of files on file system (not only, but strongly).

On TSM server you will only have a couple of files - so the 
chkdsk times will be much shorter
comparing to your file server.

only my 2 cents

Betreff: TSM on Intel


Hi!

We are considering building a TSM server on Intel but there is concern
about putting a lot of disk behind it and then ending up with a problem
with the check disk process.  (This happened on a production server and it
ran for days, obviously shutting the server down.) Does TSM use raw disk or
filesystems on Intel?  How would TSM handle the check disk issue?

If anyone has had experience with this, I would appreciate hearing about
it.  We generally run Unix servers for TSM but this particular environment
is a remote location with about 40 clients and the on-site staff only has
Intel experience so that is why it is under consideration.

Thanks,
