There is no absolute "right" answer to your question, except "it depends on your environment". We are also TSM 4.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3. There is no size limit I know of to the files that TSM uses for DB, log, and storage pool volumes; you can make them larger than 2 GB. However, the JFS filesystem w

I agree. In the rare case our server is restarted or crashes, we do not have to restart the client schedulers. Only time I have seen it necessary to restart the clients is when someone has made network/DNS changes. -Original Message- From: Thomas A. La Porte [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] S

Neither. Look at the help for IMPORT NODE. If the filespaces you are importing have identical names to the ones backed up on the new server (and they probably will, since the clients haven't changed), IMPORT will create new filespace names for the imported ones. TSM will NOT merge filespace data
