Hi Robert, Best practice is to format the database and log disks with a 4K unit size. Please refer to the TSM Server... oops Spectrum Protect Server Blueprints:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/IBM%20Spectrum%20Protect%20Blueprints Page 25 from the Windows version, v2.3: For the database and active log, a 4 K unit size is used. For example: format c:\tsminst1\TSMfile00 /fs:NTFS /v:TSMfile00 /A:4096 /q For all other types, a 64 K unit size is used. For example: format c:\tsminst1\TSMfile00 /fs:NTFS /v:TSMfile00 /A:64K /q 2016-12-26 14:54 GMT+01:00 rou...@univ.haifa.ac.il <rou...@univ.haifa.ac.il> : > Hello All > > A quick question , how to format DB / LOG disks in TSM Widows Server > 2012 environment. 4K or 64K ??? > > Best Regards > > Robert > -- Kind Regards, Groetje, Marcel Anthonijsz T: +31(0)299-776768 M:+31(0)6-53421341
