Also easy to use is TSM's summary table. Just set the retention to for instance 800 days and you keep the data about sessions and processes in TSM. Most easy way to look back if expiration suddenly takes longer. Almost nobody uses summary table for trend analysis and performance monitoring, but it

DB2: SSD vs more RAM

Hi all, I am currently in the process of setting up specifications for our new TSM6.2 server. I started by adding 8 x SSD 50GB disks to hold OS and DB, but because of the high costs was wondering if it's possible to rather buy more RAM and increase the DB2 cache to speed up the database. Cu

The line with the "Changed" tells the story. Remember that TSM client-server interactions are *transaction* based, not file-by-file. If a constituent element of the transaction changes, the transaction is void and has to be repeated, according to your Changingretries choice. This relates to

Hi Louw, For a single instance 24GB of RAM should be enough. For the OS is using SSD a bit nonsence, even SATA is enough, so don't spend to much on that. But if you want speed, look at the SSD cards of Fusion-IO (fusionio.com) these cards are build for enterprise usage and have redundancy on the

Heey Marcel, Long time ago ;-) The max. size of the aggregates can be set in the options by MoveSizeThresh and MoveBatchSize. But normaly the best choice is "high" as this improves the backup speed a lot. Mail or call me directly if you think you have a problem. I guess you don't, but we can take

SSD to me seems overkill if you already have 24 GB of RAM, unless you need superfast performance and are going to run a very busy TSM server with a huge amount of concurrent sessions. -- Gr., Remco On 17 nov. 2010, at 12:16, "Pretorius, Louw " wrote: > Hi all, > > I am currently in the pr
