Hello All, Thanks for your help!!
Our TSM server resides on an LPAR with 2 processing units and 12Gb of RAM. We use an IBM 3584 library with an expansion cabinet and 16 drives (8-LTO1 and 8-LTO2) We have 16 LTO3 drive on order to upgrade our drives. Our database is at 80Gb so I think I am ready for a new instance. We have a HIPAA requirement to keep certain data for 3 years and other data for 7 years. What is the best storage solution for this type of requirement? I plan to manage the HIPAA data with multiple domains, management classes, etc but I am not sure what storage medium to use. It seem no matter which cartridge technology we use that it will end up being a bunch of work over the years following the tape technology curve. Should I be looking at something optical or electronic? Additionally, does it make sense to incarnate another TSM instance? Thanks for your patience and help!!
