I agree.. I'm running TSM 4.1.2.0 on Windows NT Terminal Server v4, 2-CPU's
1GB memory and I do not reboot unless I need to. My system has been up for
over 28 days and it still has over 400MB of free memory.

We run TSM on AIX 4.3.3; we don't reboot unless there is a problem, or we
have software maintenance to apply, or some other reason. Not uncommon for
us to run 2-3 weeks without a restart.

Then...why not add paging space to that system? Disk is quite cheap
these days. Until you get the additional disks, you can tailor
server options like BUFPoolsize to minimize TSM memory utilization.
Also have your AIX people look into what else is running on that
server that might not have to, or might be problematic, as the
other processes are also using memory.
