Not much, in terms of network load.

For the "health check" function, the admin center periodically sends
some queries to the TSM server (like Q DB, Q LOG, Q PATH), I think it's
every 30 minutes.

Other than that, it's only the responses to your queries or commands
when you are working with it.

No backup/client data goes throught the ISC.

Hi.....

Can anyone tell me how much network activity there is between TSM Admin
Center on an Intel server and the main TSM storage manager on a RISC
server??  My network group is asking the question.  We will have both
servers on the same Vlan subnet here at work.

We have TSM Admin Center running on a virtual machine under ESX
2.5.2. Since I also support ESX, I gave it two 2.2 ghz cpus and 3.6
GB of RAM. It has been in service for only a few weeks, but to date
has had no performance problems or other issues.  In the (at least)
three years we have been using virtual machines in production there
have been extremely few problems traced back to the Vmware itself.
