Hi Zoltan! I'm not an expert, but is the x86 bus architecture not a bottleneck for high volume high performance I/O? Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
-----Original Message----- From: Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 17:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM server on Linux w/3494-3590 We are investigating the issue of moving TSM off AIX to a Linux system, purely due to the cost of AIX hardware (lets face it....when it costs me $5000 for a drawer of used SSA drives just to get me 130GB of raided disk when I can get complete multi-processor x86 boxes with 300GB of raided disk for the same cost, you have to investigate !) The only issue is the fiber-channel/SAN connectivity to the shared 3494 ATL (primarily used by our z/OS systems) using 3590 E1A drives. Can this be accomplished with an x86 box ? How many folks are using the fairly new Linux version of TSM ? How is it running ? Issues ? ********************************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
