Re: Primary disk pool volume limit

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 large number of
volumes is both sad and tragic and the situation will be corrected in
the next few weeks. Until the new VTL's are on-line I am stuck and TSM
requires several restarts to make it though the night.
The number of volumes may not be the problem, but it is the last thing
done between the time it was working and when it went bad. And IBM is
working on the problem.

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 will take.
