Yes, the limit is per DD model. The model we are using are DD880's. According to the admin guide, the smallest box has a limit of 16 sessions up to the biggest box, DD880 which has 180. Yea, sorry I misspoke - it's 180 sessions, not 150. Rick From: "Hart, Charles A" To: ADSM-L@VM.MARI

Good luck with this one. We went through months of these messages. IBM L2/L3 basically said the server was overloaded and the logs are "stair stepping" due to high activity and the inability of the TSM server keeping up with the transaction flow. While we tweaked the bufpool values and tried red

It's not always such a good idea to use a file device as the primary storage device for backups. It all depends on the amount of clients, if you're using multi-session backups and the size of your file volumes. Remember that even though TSM has concurrent access to file volumes, only 1 session
