Hi I have been doing some extensive testing on the entire disk storage pool question. The first question, is what is the feed? i.e. how many network connections does the TSM Server have. I am assuming all your larger systems are likely to go LAN FREE direct to tape. Also, what volume are you back

Re: SATA disk?

2007-07-12 Thread Ian-IT Smith
Fortunately the disk storage pools on TSM have a larger block size which is much more suited to throughput. Again the RAID type and read cache available will have an effect on this. But as Allen says, you will see the performance ceiling much quicker on SATA than FC, as random IO will have to come

For this volume of data it may be better to do it via media, or if you are going to do it via IP- I would advise deploying a dedicated network link for that export purpose. define the IP address on the dedicated nic as the server address.
