I would strongly recommend to opt for second tape drive before even thinking about workarounds. Your custommer should understood that working with single drive only makes his backup and (TSM) management processes stop in case of single HW failure. Even normal TSM management is pain with only

Hi, I use the 64-bit version of perl which can handle the amount of memory. But the memory required is so great that the server starts swapping and the execution rate goes to a standstill(together with the rest of the things running on that AIX-server). The same will probably happen with DBM.
