Thank you Andy,
This redbook is definitely a light reading compared to the rest of the
TSM rebooks. :) Thank you for all the fine tuning information being placed in
once place.
I wanted to ask is anyone on the list using Dedup technology with an 8
LUN database backend as recommended in the article. Is there any readily
available data to show the performance enhancements?
I'm currently setup with 4 folders under one LUN, with multiple paths
to the SAN. I have yet to see any negative performance or IO bottlenecks.
E:\Database\Server01\DB001
E:\Database\Server01\DB002
E:\Database\Server01\DB003
E:\Database\Server01\DB004
Assuming the benefits are huge, a database backup and restore with a dir input
file is the only clean way to split it up over multiple luns instead of folders.
Thanks for any feedback,
-Nick

Subject: [ADSM-L] New guide for optimizing Tivoli Storage Manager performance
Hello TSM community,
I would like to draw your attention to a newly published guide for optimizing
Tivoli Storage Manager performance. This guide is oriented toward TSM version
6.3 and 6.4, and supersedes the previous performance tuning guides. The guide
features a whole new approach to:
* Configuration best practices for the server database, storage pools, clients,
and more
* Guidance for identifying performance bottlenecks in the environment
* Flowcharts and graphics that illustrate key processes and practices
This blog post from one of our senior Information Development leads provides a
nice introduction and link to the new guide:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Optimizing%20performance%20for%20servers%20and%20clients
We hope you find this useful.
- Andy
