Thanks for the suggestions.

Unfortunately, we are highly unlikely to get 4GB HBAs, especially since
nothing in our SAN fabric goes higher than 2GB GBICs.

Look for the type of system that will give you the most PCI-X bandwidth
you
can get.  You are going to be pumping quite a bit of data across that bus,
with presumably 4Gb HBA's, some SCSI (?), networking...  TSM is all about
I/O, to disk, tape, and the network.
