Hello,
I have to install a new TSM server in one of our subsidiaries next week .
I have the choice of the following versions:
1. TSM 5.1.5.3
2. TSM 4.2.3.1
3. TSM 4.2.1.15
The server is a AIX 3.3.3 ML10 box with an IBM LTO library.
Our main servers are running on TSM 4.2.1.15 but if I install a
A few additional comments I would like to add:
1. AIXASYNCIO only works with JFS filespaces with ITSM.
2. It only works with storage pool volumes (not the database and
recovery log).
3. It only works with storage pool volumes that are < 2GB in size,

This allows ITSM to take advantage of AIX's Asyncronous I/O(AIO)
capabilities. I have not used this in an ITSM setting as of yet.
However, I have used AIO in other places. There are several things

Well, we don't advertise them as such, but several options can be used to
throttle performance (just as increasing their values can improve
performance, decreasing their values can inhibit performance):

I have an unusual situation where we are interested in deliberately

I agree with Zlatko; I don't think the archives will grow your data base all
that much.
But even if your DB got too big over time, you could use a second instance
of the TSM server and use just THAT server for your archives, to split the
DB into more manageable pieces.

Manual libraries are just that - Manual - and do not have a path to the
library.
You need to use the local library management system (I'm not familiar with
3494 as such) to mount tapes by hand for the restore.

Thks for the suggestion. I understand that the archive function will result
in huge database. I believe there is a protential problem if the database
grows too big.
Because of the above, I tried to used backupset which was recommended to be
as a better option.

Look at the "Archive" function of TSM client. It can be invoked from CLI
by using "dsmc archive " or from GUI/Web pressing
button "Archive" instead of "Backup".
With appropriate settings in archive copygroup (which is different from
backup copygroup) this is very easy to achieve. Look for "def cop
