JFS2, GPFS, HSM and TSM 5.1

2002-03-13 Thread John Bremer
Greetings, At the recent SHARE we saw the TSM roadmap update for 5.1. In extended platform support it was said that HSM on 64-bit AIX would be available. Does anyone know if greater than 1 TeraByte files would be supported on HSM with TSM 5.1 on AIX? Thank you. John Bremer

TSM 5.1 will probably be the most tested release ever delivered by Tivoli; however, I would still be careful about installing it at GA. I would test it internally a lot with a similar configuration to production if I installed it early, but we will see if any of the Beta testing sites have any fe

The database is blocked at 4K. I doubt what you are saying is true. Simply, the database disk will never run at 33MB/sec. It really depends on how your tape and disk are configured. -Original Message- From: Michael, Monte [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 10:26
