For the longest time, the easiest place to take the TSM server's bio signs, was to check how long expiration processing takes. If you could get expiration processing done in an hour, and you didn't have any other functional problems with your daily process, then your database is not too big. Serv

And most importantly, if you get a room full of TSM gurus, IBM types and folks like us, nobody will really agree on a hard number. What I have seen during 10 years and hundreds of TSM environments is that the number has gradually increased. When I first got into this business, 50GB was huge.

Certainly the architectural limit is a boundary you don't want to get very close to. But besides that, there are issues of database performance as the DB grows and grows. We have TSM servers running four TSM instances on 8-way pSeries AIX servers with redundant FC links to raw logical volumes on

100-120GB was the IBM recommended limit based on their tests on a baseline AIX system (Specs are lost to history). I talked to the Watson Research guys at a Symposium quite a while ago on this. (The guy was from one of their east coast research places, and I'm assuming it was Watson. He was with I

The architectural limit is 500GB. Practically, one should be a good bit smaller. It really boils down to how long do you want a restore of the backed up DB to take? Figure about 150% of the backup time for a restore. Can you live with that? Kelly Lipp Chief Technical Officer www.storserver.
