Mario, You may consider the implication of a future upgrade to TSM V6 which is running DB2. Do you really think that Oracle and DB2 will co-exist on the same box?

We put the TSM server on one AIX node and the TSM client on the other AIX node. Works fast and reliably and TSM never put much load on the server processor nor did it ever interfere with any Oracle processes or database disk operations even with both the TSM database, logs and storage pools in the same raid array as the Oracle DBs. This configuration backups up about 700Gbytes a night from the Oracle 10G databases, both hot and cold user managed backups, in addition to another 100 MS servers.

Both have Oracle 10G. * a DS 4000 storage connected * a LTO3 tape unit connectedThis is a very small TSM installation, only the machines above will have the TSM client installed initially. Where is the best place to have the TSM Server installed? On both nodes, on one of the nodes or on a different machine? Also, should the TSM client be installed on both nodes? Any help is appreciated. Mario IMPORTANT: E-mail sent through the Internet is not secure.
