Thanks very much! It is just the kind of information I need. It gives me
more things to consider in my planning now.

Shannon,
If you have enough disk space you might want to create 2 primary diskpools.
One for the O/S data and one for the Domino databases and Transaction Log
extents. BTW, are you running Archive Transaction Logging? The logic is
based on our scenario:
* We have mail quotas in place for a 50MB mail file and have a 14 day
retention.
* TDP "Fulls" are run twice a week (script files run Notes compact -B
and then domdsmc incremental command afterward)
* We archive the Trans Logs every 4 hours and a threshold backup
every
hour just in case a notes process spikes.
We run the Trans Log Archive jobs to a primary diskpool that is big enough
to keep 3 days worth of incrementals for expedient restore capability. It
migrates to a collocated tape pool. The same tape pool is used for the
Domino database backups so that all TDP backups are collocated.
The Backup/Archive jobs go to another primary disk pool which is small
enough to keep the weekly incrementals from all nodes associated to that
TSM
server. That data is migrated to a non-collocated tape pool which utilizes
the tapes more efficiently because the O/S is a fairly static file system
after the first backup and one node would only take up a fraction of one
tape.
Hope this adds to your understanding!

Subject: TDP Lotus Domino
I am in the process of setting up new Domain, etc. to start using the TDP
Lotus Domino for backups. Currently just using the TSM Client for the
backups with a primary diskpool big enough for all nightly backups and a
primary cartpool(seq,collocated) where I migrate all the backed-up data
from disk to before the next nightly backup. Does anyone know if it would
be better to create a separate primary storage pool or can I just send the
TDP data to the same stgpool we are currently using? Since the seq stgpool
is collocated and the TDP gets a different node name than the TSM Notes
Client, I'm thinking this shouldn't be a problem, but there may be other
issues to take into consideration that I don't know about. From reading
all the documentation it seems that all the data from the TDP is considered
BACKUP data and not ARCHIVED data. Is this right? Any help to increase my
understanding would be greatly appreciated!
