The tsm db performs highly random accesses. Something else you may need to do is stripe the db across more disk drives. When we moved one of our tsm db's to a new storage system and stripped it across all the drives, our expiration went from running +3 days down to half a day, and, backups droppe

The limit of 100GB isn't cast in stone - it's a rule of thumb that I've heard tossed about frequently. The actual fall-off in performance will depend a lot on your disk subsystem. Faster RPM drives can help, as well as spreading the I/O across more spindles (i.e., striping), use of write-cache,

I guess the doc I was questioning was the quote: "You cannot mix media formats in a storage pool. This includes LTO1 and LTO2 formats." Bill is doing this (using LTO1 AND LTO2 formats in a storage pool.) So if it is not wrong, I found it very confusing to figure out what that means! Thanks, Ti

If your database files are still good then do a DSMSERV DUMPDB. Then you'll need to run DSMSERV LOADFORMAT followed by DSMSERV LOADDB. Your server will startup fine after that with no data loss. The dump and load will be very fast if you have enough disk space and can do it to a file devclass.
