Did you define all the database filesystems at install time, or did you
start with one and then add the other three? I remember running into a
problems with TSM 6.1 where DB2 wouldn't round-robin database
filesystems if they weren't all defined at install-time. The solution
then was to backup the database restore it.

All,

We recently started installing fresh tsm 6.2.1 instances in house. I was
wondering if someone could help me with the following questions/issues.

Question 1)

We have a 500 GB Database allocated. I have that split up into 4 filesystems
with 127 GB each. Currently Only the first filesystem is being used. I
thought they should have been used evenly. is there a parameter i need to
check to enable this?

127,480

Question 2)

With the way Dbbackups are now set up through the client API is is now
possible to set up remote backups to another TSM Server?
Could i compress or dedupe the backup over to another TSM Server remotely?
Or does it end up using server to server communication to do that?

Thanks,

Andrew
