Not much, in terms of network load. For the "health check" function, the admin center periodically sends some queries to the TSM server (like Q DB, Q LOG, Q PATH), I think it's every 30 minutes.
Other than that, it's only the responses to your queries or commands when you are working with it. No backup/client data goes throught the ISC.

Can anyone tell me how much network activity there is between TSM Admin Center on an Intel server and the main TSM storage manager on a RISC server?? My network group is asking the question. We will have both servers on the same Vlan subnet here at work. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Arbogast Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 12:09 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM Admin Console on VmWare server We have TSM Admin Center running on a virtual machine under ESX 2.5.2. Since I also support ESX, I gave it two 2.2 ghz cpus and 3.6 GB of RAM. It has been in service for only a few weeks, but to date has had no performance problems or other issues. In the (at least) three years we have been using virtual machines in production there have been extremely few problems traced back to the Vmware itself. Keith Arbogast Indiana University
